1. Add some helper classes for partitions. They are designed in a
way such that the top-level LTO driver will not see much difference
with or without partitioning.
2. Introduce work-dir. Now all intermediate files generated during
LTO phases will be saved under work-dir. User can specify the workdir
via -lto-workdir=/path/to/dir. By default the work-dir will be
erased before linker exit. To keep the workdir, do -lto-keep, or -lto-keep=1.
TODO: Erase the workdir, if the linker exit prematurely.
We are currently not able to remove directory on signal. The support
routines simply ignore directory.
3. Add one new API lto_codegen_get_files_need_remove().
Linker and LTO plugin will communicate via this API about which files
(including directories) need to removed before linker exit.

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/ --enable-pic. To use the
plugin, run "ld-new --plugin /path/to/LLVMgold.so".
Without PIC libLTO and LLVMgold are not being built (because they would fail
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.
