--- Comment #4 from Richard Guenther <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-07-24 13:21:25 UTC --- If they are single-file benchmarks a simple -fwhole-program would do, too. (I wonder if we can auto-detect -fwhole-program from within the gcc driver, if one performs non-partial linking on a single source input that should be safe - quite a "benchmark" thing though).
