Rafael Espindola 4f20ed1c36 Don't lookup an object symbol name in the module.
Instead, walk the obj symbol list in parallel to find the GV. This shouldn't
change anything on ELF where global symbols are not mangled, but it is a step
toward supporting other object formats.

Gold itself is ELF only, but bfd ld supports COFF and the logic in the gold
plugin could be reused on lld.

The LLVM Gold LTO Plugin
========================

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.

See docs/GoldPlugin.html for complete build and usage instructions.

NOTE: libLTO and LLVMgold aren't built without PIC because they would fail
to link on x86-64 with a relocation error: PIC and non-PIC can't be combined.
As an alternative to passing --enable-pic, you can use 'make ENABLE_PIC=1' in
your entire LLVM build.
