Rafael Espindola 050bf6c22b Make the LTO comdat api more symbol table friendly.
In an IR symbol table I would expect the comdats to be represented as:

- A table of strings, one for each comdat name.
- Each symbol has an optional index into that table.

The natural api for accessing that would be

InputFile:
ArrayRef<StringRef> getComdatTable() const;

Symbol:
int getComdatIndex() const;

This patch implements an API as close to that as possible.  The
implementation on top of the current IRObjectFile is a bit hackish,
but should map just fine over a symbol table and is very convenient to
use.

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.
