           !getCodeGenOpts().LTOVisibilityPublicStd &&
-          !getTriple().isWindowsGNUEnvironment()) {
+          !getTriple().isWindowsGNUEnvironment() &&
+          !getTriple().isWindowsMSVCEnvironment()) {
         const FunctionDecl *FD = GetRuntimeFunctionDecl(Context, Name);

> The condition here of `T.isOSBinFormatCOFF() && !T.isWindowsGNUEnvironment() && !T.isWindowsMSVCEnvironment()` is essentially equivalent to `T.isWindowsItaniumEnvironment()`. Please simplify the condition to that. The other relevant environments are Cygnus for Cygwin and CoreCLR, which probably want to follow the MSVC/GNU behavior.
IIRC, one of the issues was that lldb couldn't deal very well with the thunks.  The other thing is that there is a small penalty for something that we know that we are going to redirect through.  However, I think that if lldb is able to deal with the thunks now, I would be okay with the penalty to make the behavior more similar to MSVC.  Basically, if lldb works, lets just get rid of the special behavior for the itanium environment.

Comment at: CodeGenObjC/gnu-init.m:103
+// Make sure we do not have dllimport on the load function
+// CHECK-WIN: declare dso_local void @__objc_load

I think that @theraven would care more about this code path than I.  I think that this change may be wrong, because the load here is supposed to be in the ObjC runtime, and this becoming local to the module would break the global registration.
