This format is simply a regular object file with the bitcode stored in a section named ".llvmbc", plus any number of other (non-allocated) sections. One immediate use case for this is to accommodate compilation processes which expect the object file to contain metadata in non-allocated sections, such as the ".go_export" section used by some Go compilers [1], although I imagine that in the future we could consider compiling parts of the module (such as large non-inlinable functions) directly into the object file to improve LTO efficiency.

The LLVM Gold LTO Plugin ======================== This directory contains a plugin that is designed to work with binutils gold linker. At present time, this is not the default linker in binutils, and the default build of gold does not support plugins. See docs/GoldPlugin.html for complete build and usage instructions. NOTE: libLTO and LLVMgold aren't built without PIC because they would fail to link on x86-64 with a relocation error: PIC and non-PIC can't be combined. As an alternative to passing --enable-pic, you can use 'make ENABLE_PIC=1' in your entire LLVM build.
