[LLVMdev] llvm-link deprecated in favor of gold plugin?

[Russell Wallace]

Ah! Okay. A quick test of llvm-lto gets an error:

llvm-lto: error adding file 'main.bc': Linking COMDATs named
'
??_7_Iostream_error_category at std@@6B@': invalid selection kinds!

Would it be the case that llvm-lto is also deprecated in favor of the gold
plugin?
