That is what the gold plugin is for. It makes gold able to handle .o files
with LLVM IL.

Do you remember if the problem was wen using static libraries (.a)?
For that to work ar also has to understand LLVM IL. That is possible
in recent binutils by building with --enable-plugins and coping
the llvm plugin to the install directory.
