Yea... this is not how plugin linking should work.

Plugin host tools should link against the libraries. We do pass linker flags where necessary to reduce symbol dead stripping, but there is no expectation that all static archive symbols are in the tools. Which is why plugins themselves should be linked against first the plugin loader tool, then the LLVM static libraries that they themselves rely on.

See the `LLVMHello` Transform library plugin as an example.
