This is an adaptation of the IBM XL compiler's `-qstatsym` option, which is meant to generate symbol table entries for static variables. An artifact of that compiler is that static variables are often not discarded even when unused. We attempt to achieve the combined effect using `-fkeep-static-variables`.
