If the intention is MCSymbol should never get used, and different object file should have their own MCSymbolXXX class from the start, then I could add in the llvm_unreachable here, and I would also propose to replace the "return new (Name, *this) MCSymbol(MCSymbol::SymbolKindUnset, Name, IsTemporary);" with an llvm_unreachable as well.

Ok I think falling through to create the generic MCSymbol in this patch is reasonable.
