Chandler Carruth 15db81893f [gold] Consolidate the gold plugin options and actually search for
a gold binary explicitly. Substitute this binary into the tests rather
than just directly executing the 'ld' binary.

This should allow folks to inject a cross compiling gold binary, or in
my case to use a gold binary built and installed somewhere other than
/usr/bin/ld. It should also allow the tests to find 'ld.gold' so that
things work even if gold isn't the default on the system.

I've only stubbed out support in the makefile to preserve the existing
behavior with none of the fancy logic. If someone else wants to add
logic here, they're welcome to do so.

The LLVM Gold LTO Plugin
========================

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

See docs/GoldPlugin.html for complete build and usage instructions.

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