-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.
