I'm definitely not an expert in LLDB, so I don't know if this is the exact way to solve this issue, but the behavior should now be correct in the presence of import sections.
A couple of questions: I manually edited the YAML test input file (rather than recompiling it from clang). I think it's possible to generate function imports like that with clang+lld but I'm not sure about global imports.
Secondly: is the value of the SymID field significant? If every function has a name in the name section (and now, if every import also has a name) then the SymID will match the functions index in the function index space (and previously would have matched the function's index in the code section). The id now will never match the code section index if there are imports, and the id won't match the function index space if not every function has a name. This isn't a problem unless the SymID is significant somehow.
