Practically speaking, I don't think this will change any linker output.  

In the test case the __DATA, __objc_classlist section is an array of pointers to ObjC classes.  The section is marked don't dead-strip because ObjC is a dynamic language and classes can be instantiated by their string name at runtime.  Therefore, the linker should not dead strip any ObjC stuff.  We do that today by marking that section don't dead strip.

The choice of an 'l' vs 'L' label is the choice of whether the linker internally sees the sections as a bunch of atoms or one big atom.  With no-dead-strip sections, the result will be the same.
