Thanks.

It looks like the new bitcode reader will map it to GlobalValue::PrivateLinkage, and the changes in r201700 will write that as ‘L’ or ‘l’ depending on the section. Is there some scenario were older bitcode files will not create valid mach-o with this change?
If there is, it is a bug. Like we missing a section where 'l' is
needed instead of 'L'.

Thanks! Committed as r203866.
