As far as I can tell it was introduced to allow fat LTO with -Clinker-plugin-lto. Later a change was made to automatically disable ThinLTO summary generation when -Clinker-plugin-lto -Clto=fat is used, so we can safely remove it.

and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code
that runs towards the end of the compilation process.
For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
