OK.

I am playing now with the optimization and speedup builds of a
selfmade llvm-toolchain.

In a 2nd build I could build a LLVMgold plugin (before I built a
binutils v2.26.1 and used all ar|nm|ld.bfd|ld.gold, placed LLVMgold.so
into /path/to/binutils/lib/bfd-plugins/ - with binutils v2.22 shipped
with Ubuntu/precise I could not build a LLVMgold.so).

My 3rd build with backported lto-flag from LLVM v3.9 is still running,
so this will be LTO-optimized.

Let's see PGO, optimized-TableGen and split-DWARF in my 4th build.
