I can run the configure using this command.

../../../extract/bash-5.0/configure CC=clang CXX=clang++
RANLIB=llvm-ranlib CFLAGS=-g\ -flto LDFLAGS=-save-temps\ -flto

But the command to generate the executable "bash" (called by make)
does not produce a .bc file.

clang -L./builtins -L./lib/readline -L./lib/readline -L./lib/glob
-L./lib/tilde  -L./lib/sh  -save-temps -flto  -g -flto
-Wno-parentheses -Wno-format-security   -o bash shell.o eval.o y.tab.o
general.o make_cmd.o print_cmd.o  dispose_cmd.o execute_cmd.o
variables.o copy_cmd.o error.o expr.o flags.o jobs.o subst.o hashcmd.o
hashlib.o mailcheck.o trap.o input.o unwind_prot.o pathexp.o sig.o
test.o version.o alias.o array.o arrayfunc.o assoc.o braces.o
bracecomp.o bashhist.o bashline.o  list.o stringlib.o locale.o
findcmd.o redir.o pcomplete.o pcomplib.o syntax.o xmalloc.o
-lbuiltins -lglob -lsh -lreadline -lhistory -ltermcap -ltilde
lib/intl/libintl.a -liconv -liconv  -ldl

It is just the .o files are bitcode. But bash is an executable. And
there are not .bc files accompanying it.

$ file bash
bash: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

Using the original commands on Linux, I got the following associated files.
./configure CC=clang RANLIB=llvm-ranlib CFLAGS=-flto
LDFLAGS=-Wl\,-plugin-opt=save-temps\ -flto\ -fuse-ld=gold
make

$ ls -gltr bash.*.bc
-rw-r--r-- 1 staff 4769876 Jan 25 10:16 bash.0.0.preopt.bc
-rw-r--r-- 1 staff 4769876 Jan 25 10:16 bash.0.2.internalize.bc
