// as llvm.used on ELF targets and llvm.compiler.used elsewhere, which and should be
// equivalent to how we compiled `#[used]` before LLVM 13, as `llvm.used` and
// `llvm.compiler.used` were treated the same on ELF targets prior in earlier LLVM

// perhaps for similar compatibility-motivated reasons).

// The final wrinkle is it's not really clear how to tell if we're going to output
// ELF, so it's been approximated as "not like wasm, osx, or windows", which is
// not exactly correct, but is pretty close and hopefully handles all the platforms
// platforms where old versions of `ld.gold` are likely to show up.

// All this is subject to change in the future. Which is a good thing, because this
// probably should be firmed up somehow!
