Can you give an example how they use `-Xcompiler`?

  % gcc -Xcompiler,-fpic -c a.c
  gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-Xcompiler,-fpic’
  % gcc -Xcompiler -fpic -c a.c
  gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-Xcompiler’; did you mean 
‘--compile’?

My commit message clearly says why the joined form is awkward and should be 
removed.
It seems that the many occurrences you found are likely for GNU libtool 
(`-Xcompiler foo` `-Wc,foo`), not for Clang Driver.
