[lldb-dev] Bitcode linking with static libs + ARM assembly on Xcode 7

[Greg Clayton]

Your static libraries need to enable bitcode when the .o files are generated. If you have plain assembly files that don't originate from source files, I am not sure there is a solution to get assembly files into bit code. I will check on this.
