For a definition (of most linkage types), dso_local is set for ELF -fno-pic/-fpie
and COFF, but not for Mach-O. This nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
This patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `
if there is an explicit linkage.
* Clang will set dso_local for Mach-O, which is currently implied by TargetMachine.cpp. This will make COFF/Mach-O and executable ELF similar.
* Eventually I hope we can make dso_local the textual LLVM IR default (write explicit "dso_preemptable" when applicable) and -fpic ELF will be similar to everything else. This patch helps move toward that goal.
The ``disable_tail_calls`` attribute instructs the backend to not
perform tail call optimization inside the marked function.
For example,
int callee(int);
int foo(int a) __attribute__((disable_tail_calls)) {
return callee(a); // This call is not tail-call optimized.
}
Note that this attribute is different from 'not_tail_called', which
prevents tail-call optimization to the marked function.

This commit adds back the code that seems to have been dropped unintentionally
in r176985.
