Yep, good point. Agree that it should be all-or-nothing but I feel like there 
might be other people in situations like in chrome mac/lldb or what @jmorse 
mentioned, where we use -fno-standalone-debug because it's impractical to use 
fstandalone-debug, and having a flag to keep the previous behavior is easier 
than having people make changes downstream.

Anyway, I think I'll leave it as a cc1 flag for now.
