A quick grep found these -- there could be more.

llvm-opt-report adds `-h` for help and handles it after 
`ParseCommandLineOptions` returns.
llvm-objdump adds `-h` as an alias for `--section-headers`.
dsymutil adds `-h` for help and handles it after `ParseCommandLineOptions` 
returns.
llvm-readobj adds `-h` as an alias for `--file-headers`.
llvm-dwarfdump adds `-h` for help and handles it after 
`ParseCommandLineOptions` returns.
llvm-mt rolls its own via llvm-tblgen.

So, the only ones I found that aren't essentially aliases for help are in 
llvm-objdump and llvm-readobj.
