Clang should support -use-gold-plugin, the same way llvm-gcc supports it.

It should also build & install libLLVMgold.so along with clang.

Alternatively it should strip flags unknown to llvm-ld, and invoke it, as
described here: http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=4155
However 'nm' would still need the gold plugin to work with LTO objects.
