With LTO, the compiler can rename static functions to avoid global
naming collisions. As initcall functions are typically static,
renaming can break references to them in inline assembly. This
change adds a global stub with a stable name for each initcall to
fix the issue when PREL32 relocations are used.

While I understand that this may be necessary for now, are there any
plans to fix this in the compiler in the future? There was a thread
about this issue at
<http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-April/thread.html#98047>,
and possible solutions were discussed there, but it looks like that
fizzled out...
