The C++ front-end is horribly mangling the names of functions and methods in
anonymous namespaces, but it doesn't actually get around to marking them
internal.  This prevents the optimizer from doing lots of neat things, and
_explodes_ the size of some symbols.

This is a "feature" of the G++ side of things.  ugh.

I'm escalating this, because it prevents the LLVM optimizer from doing
significant things at compile time.

This is finally fixed.  The patch is monsterous and noone cares, so I'm not
including it.

I applied this patch as well to reduce the size of identifiers in anonymous
namespaces:
