Please leave it in c-family and just add LTO to the set of supported
languages. -fno-builtin isn't meaningful for other frontends
and we just happen to use the flag.
If then it makes more sense to move -fhosted and -ffreestanding
though I don't know how meaningful those are for other frontends.
Or create a "proper" flag to communicate that the middle-end
should avoid creating new calls to builtins at all cost
(well, that's really what -ffreestanding is about).
