4This directory contains a plugin that is designed to work with binutils
5gold linker. At present time, this is not the default linker in
6binutils, and the default build of gold does not support plugins.

10NOTE: libLTO and LLVMgold aren't built without PIC because they would fail
11to link on x86-64 with a relocation error: PIC and non-PIC can't be combined.
12As an alternative to passing --enable-pic, you can use 'make ENABLE_PIC=1' in
13your entire LLVM build.
