As far as I know there's exactly two users of libLTO, the gold plugin 
which is in tree, and the Apple linker.

The plugin started with set_gcc_path, then Apple LD added 
set_assembler_path, then I changed gold to use it instead. I'd like to 
remove set_gcc_path before anyone else starts using it, especially 
before we make a release with it.
