Now that almost all functionality of Apple's dsymutil has been
upstreamed, the open source variant can be used as a drop in
replacement. Hence we feel it's no longer necessary to have the llvm
prefix.

llvm-dsymutil was misinterpreting the value of common symbols as their
address when it actually contains their size. This didn't impact
llvm-dsymutil's ability to link the debug information for common symbols
because these are always found by name and not by address. Things could
however go wrong when the size of a common object matched the object
file address of another symbol. Depending on the link order of the symbols
the common object might incorrectly evict this other object from the
address to symbol mapping, and then link the evicted symbol with a wrong
binary address.
Use the new ability to have symbols without an object file address to fix
this.

Quoting from the comment added to the code:
// Objective-C on i386 uses artificial absolute symbols to
// perform some link time checks. Those symbols have a fixed 0
// address that might conflict with real symbols in the object
// file. As I cannot see a way for absolute symbols to find
// their way into the debug information, let's just ignore those.
