Similar to D46745, "S" represents an absolute symbolic operand, which
can be used to specify the access models, e.g.
extern int var;
void *addr_via_asm() {
void *ret;
asm("lui %0, %%hi(%1)\naddi %0,%0,%%lo(%1)" : "=r"(ret) : "S"(&var));
return ret;
}
'S' is documented in trunk GCC: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101275

For a default visibility external linkage definition, dso_local is set for ELF
-fno-pic/-fpie and COFF and Mach-O. Since default clang -cc1 for ELF is similar
to -fpic ("PIC Level" is not set), this nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
To make emitted IR similar, ELF -cc1 -fpic will default to -fno-semantic-interposition,
which sets dso_local for default visibility external linkage definitions.
To make this flip smooth and enable future (dso_local as definition default),
this patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `.
