Adds `-x` flag to stripping of macOS loadable bundles. Loadable bundles--i.e. truly dynamically loadable libraries on macOS--cannot be stripped without this flag, since you'd be trying to strip away the all symbols, including those used for dynamic loading. Doing so results in `error: symbols referenced by indirect symbol table entries that can't be stripped`. `-x` instead leads to the removal of the unneeded local symbols. As Apple notes in their man page: "For dynamic shared libraries, the maximum level of stripping is usually -x (to remove all non-global symbols)." This should fix #11869

(I understand that --objc_enable_binary_stripping has other issues, but this seems like a clear bugfix that unblocks some useful functionality.) |

This seems like a perfectly reasonable tweak to improve bundle usage. 👍 Thanks! |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Hopefully we can get these hardcoded conditions/flags out of Bazel entirely at some point and moved into crosstool features instead, but adding one more check here doesn't really set us back in the meantime, either.

Sweet! Thanks, all. Where do we go from here on merging? |

[With you, @allevato: Features look like a great, additional layer of indirection to wrap flags that differ across platforms. But in the meantime.] |

Hey all, quick bump. Now That it's approved, what's the path to merging? |

I sent it to internal code review to @allevato right now |
