[LLVMdev] llvm-link deprecated in favor of gold plugin?

[Russell Wallace]

Following on from my last question, based on such information as I've been
able to find on Google, I get the impression llvm-link is effectively
deprecated / not actively maintained, because the focus of whole-program
optimization is now on the gold plugin. Is that the case, or am I missing
something?

Running searches over the source tree, it seems the Linker class that
actually implements the functionality of llvm-link is not used by any other
modules except LTOCodeGenerator. I couldn't find anything
referencing LTOCodeGenerator. Does the gold plugin or anything else
use LTOCodeGenerator?
