This is a fix additional to #92162

In some cases, section names contain a whitespace between the segment name and the actual section name (e.g. __TEXT, __swift5_proto). It is confirmed by source code of the Swift compiler

This fix allows LTO to work correctly with the -ObjC flag in that rare case when only a section with a whitespace in the name is present in the linked bitcode module, but there are no sections containing __TEXT,__swift

This is a fix additional to llvm#92162

In some cases, section names contain a whitespace between the segment name and
the actual section name (e.g. `__TEXT, __swift5_proto`). It is confirmed by
source code of the Swift compiler

This fix allows LTO to work correctly with the `-ObjC` flag in that rare case
when only a section with a whitespace in the name is present in the linked
bitcode module, but there are no sections containing `__TEXT,__swift`

Thank you for submitting a Pull Request (PR) to the LLVM Project!

This PR will be automatically labeled and the relevant teams will be notified.

If you wish to, you can add reviewers by using the "Reviewers" section on this page.

If this is not working for you, it is probably because you do not have write permissions for the repository. In which case you can instead tag reviewers by name in a comment by using @ followed by their GitHub username.
