What was llvm-ld and why was it removed?
I see this reference regarding the Eclipse plugin for llvm.
http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/llvm-toolchain-eclipse-cdt#.UeUzW47Slk8
It was was a strange mix of llvm-link and a system linker. It was
removed because llvm-link is sufficient for testing and as a developer
tool, but llvm-ld was not even close to being a full system linker.
The use cases covered by llvm-ld should be handled by
* libLTO when using ld64 on OS X
* The gold plugin when using gold or very new versions of bfd ld.
* lld.
