Well if your going to do this for ELF/COFF as well as Mach-O wouldn’t it be better to have a high level option on llvm-objdump that knows the conventions of where the "clang module file” is in each object file format?  Maybe:

llvm-objdump -raw-clang-ast SomeObject | llvm-bcanalyzer

Then to make this a -macho specific option to use with the Mach-O specific -section option?
