Hi Chris,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the update. As you know, we're trying to build a phase that looks like the user's platform linker, so we'll probably need all the flag support eventually. And although it's hotly debated occasionally (:-)), we probably will want the ability to link with native code also. Both of these lean in favor of gold/plugin.</div>

</div>Hi David,<br>
<br>
It is supported and in use by many projects. Most people who care about LTO have switched to native linker plugins: either liblto (on the mac) or the gold plugin. That said, llvm-link and llvm-ld continue to work as they always have. llvm-ld's major limitation is that it doesn't implement all the linker flags that various system ld's do.<br>
