Look like this is due to the FIXME at line 198 in MCMachOSteamer.cpp ( FIXME: Set associated section. ).
This functions does not mark the symbol as absolute (by setting its section to absolute pseudo section), and so it is interpreted as undefined symbol by the MachOWriter.
Unfortunately, I don't known assembly and object generation enough to fix this.
