1 The LLVM Gold LTO Plugin
2 ========================
3
4 This directory contains a plugin that is designed to work with binutils
5 gold linker. At present time, this is not the default linker in
6 binutils, and the default build of gold does not support plugins.

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

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