MCObjectFileInfo didn't have a virtual destructor but didn't have virtual functions either. It's immediate subclass (TargetLoweringObjectFile) had a virtual destructor and virtual functions. My patch added a virtual function to MCObjectFileInfo which introduced the warning about having virtual functions without a virtual destructor.
