Note that the Xcode 8 Beta 4 release notes finally acknowledges this issue under the "Known Issues in Xcode 8 beta 4 - Swift and Apple LLVM Compilers" section...
Command Line Tools • Currently the new LLVM-based otool(1) exits with a non-zero status on the first error it encounters for the files on the command line, including treating non-object files as errors. This differs from the previous otool(1), available now as otool-classic(1), that will process all files on the command line even if some have errors. otool-classic(1) will treat non-object files as a warning instead of an error. (26828015) The use of 'currently' does suggest that they intend to address this issue before release of Xcode 8.
