[cfe-commits] Patch to support gold on FreeBSD

Tue Jul 31 01:06:24 PDT 2012

devel/binutils in FreeBSD's ports builds gold which it installs as /usr/local/bin/ld.gold. The attached patch enables LTO on FreeBSD in a manner similar to Linux. Namely, it passes -plugin /path/to/LLVMgold.so to the linker.

In addition, if gold has been specified, it uses ld.gold, rather than ld. I'm not sure if that part is appropriate or not since nothing else switches linkers based on LTO.
