Chris, I haven’t yet looked at this is detail, but I’m wondering how it relates to libLTO.dylib. At least on Darwin, we have gradually been expanding the use of libLTO.dylib for things besides LTO, adding various other functions from the C API, with the intention that it would eventually become an alias for libLLVM.dylib. Would this be a good time to make that transition?
