For ordering of ipa passes, we could perhaps pass them via command line:
sth like -fipa-opts-order=cp,icf
which will only run ipa-cp and ipa-icf, but it admittedly looks quite ugly :/
Alternatively a more general approach would be to define pass ordering
in separate file (which could perhaps take the format of passes.def)
and that could be passed to the the compiler via command-line, say
-fpass-list=<file>
and then the compiler would parse the file and set up the pass lists
accordingly.
Not sure if this is a good solution either.
