Hi. Yes, I got your email, sorry I didn't reply (I honestly thought I 
had). As for the gold plugin, I wrote tools/gold initially and Rafael 
wrote the plugin support for gold.

The LLVM 2.6 release worked with whatever plugin-api.h was in binutils 
cvs at the time. Also, an older LLVMgold should work fine with a newer 
binutils.

I don't know what's up with the configure + make having failed when you 
tried it; Rafael's post about it compiling .o files it shouldn't need to 
is spot-on. Did you forget the --enable-gold flag when configuring? Or 
run "make" or "make all gold" instead of "make all-gold"?

Sorry for being unresponsive!
