The tools/lto API is not the best choice for implementing a gold plugin. Among other issues: * It is an stable ABI. Old errors stay and we have to be really careful before adding new features. * It has to support two fairly different linkers: gold and ld64. * We end up with a plugin that depends on a shared lib, something quiet unusual in LLVM land. * It hides LLVM. For some features in the gold plugin it would be really nice to be able to just get a Module or a GlobalValue. This change is intended to be a very direct translation from the C API. It will just enable other fixes and cleanups. Tested with a LTO bootstrap on linux. llvm-svn: 211315
