Subject: [PATCH] llvm: add binutils-plugin PACKAGECONFIG for LLVMgold.so
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 08:27:34 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324232734.2081279-1-mark.yang@lge.com> (raw)
From: "mark.yang" <mark.yang@lge.com>
Add a 'binutils-plugin' PACKAGECONFIG option to selectively build
LLVMgold.so by passing -DLLVM_BINUTILS_INCDIR and adding binutils
to DEPENDS only when enabled.
LLVMgold.so is the LLVM LTO plugin for GNU ld BFD.
When using lld as the linker, this plugin is not needed since lld has
built-in LTO support. However, for toolchains that rely on BFD
this plugin is required to enable LTO.
binutils-plugin is named after Gentoo's USE flag convention for similar
functionality.
