[PATCH] D26130: [ELF] - Implemented --symbol-ordering-file option.

[Rui Ueyama via llvm-commits]

Well, if I knew it was a completely new feature, I didn't LGTM on this
patch. It needs a strong justification to add a new feature, and even if we
agree with a need of a feature, we still have to discuss what is the best
way of doing it. I think if gold already has a similar feature, we should
implement that, instead of inventing our own.

We probably should revert this now, and restart from a proposal and
discussion.
