 Bitcode files for LLVM IR may also be wrapped in a native object file

+(i.e. ELF, COFF, Mach-O).  The bitcode must be stored in a section of the object
+file named ``__LLVM,__bitcode`` for MachO and ``.llvmbc`` for the other object
+formats.  This wrapper format is useful for accommodating LTO in compilation
+pipelines where intermediate objects must be native object files which contain
+metadata in other sections.
 
 Not all tools support this format.
