I don't understand your point a lot. From my point, the intention of the thread 
(https://discourse.llvm.org/t/make-command-line-support-for-c-20-module-uniform-with-gcc/59144)
 are asking why the command line interfaces of clang are clearly more complex 
than gcc. And @rsmith replies that:

in 
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/make-command-line-support-for-c-20-module-uniform-with-gcc/59144/12.
 And I think this is what this patch tries to do: (generate .pcm file and .o 
file in one single compilation action).

In fact, this doesn't change the behavior a lot. Previously, when we tried to 
compile a `*.cppm` directly to `*.o`, the compiler will generate `*.pcm` 
automatically too! Although the `*.pcm` file is only generated in `/tmp/` files 
by default. And what this patch did is only to change the default location for 
`*.pcm` files from `/tmp` to `module cache path`. And it wouldn't affect the 
original 2 phase compilation model.
