This directory contains a plugin that is designed to work with binutils
gold linker. At present time, this is not the default linker in
binutils, and the default build of gold does not support plugins.
Obtaining binutils:
cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sourceware.org:/cvs/src login
{enter "anoncvs" as the password}
cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sourceware.org:/cvs/src co binutils
This will create a src/ directory. Make a build/ directory and from
there configure binutils with "../src/configure --enable-gold --enable-plugins".
Then build binutils with "make all-gold".
To build the LLVMgold plugin, configure LLVM with the option
--with-binutils-include=/path/to/binutils/src/include/ . To use the
plugin, run "ld-new --plugin /path/to/libLLVMgold.so".
