I don't understand how it's better.<br class=""></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Another issue with the current situation is that in order to pass these to llvm in LTO builds (at least for gold) you have to do -Wl,-plugin-opt,-mllvm,-some-option, and gold gives a fatal error if it sees a -plugin-opt without -plugin. So for example in a clang LTO bootstrap I cannot set it up to pass any -mllvm option via plugin-opt because there are link steps that create intermediate shared libraries but don't invoke the plugin, so I get a fatal error (this affects all plugin-opt, but -mllvm is probably a likely one that I would want to pass for debugging or analysis).</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div><div>I'm surprised that you are building intermediate shared library during a bootstrap of clang, and even more that they're not built out of bitcode?</div><div><br class=""></div><div>-- </div><div>Mehdi</div><div><br class=""></div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><div class=""><br class=""></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
