In an earlier post, it was suggested that the developers of the gold plugin do not necessarily frequent the LLVM dev mailing list. So, how should I go about contacting the developers of the gold plugin?

Hi. Yes, I got your email, sorry I didn't reply (I honestly thought I had). As for the gold plugin, I wrote tools/gold initially and Rafael wrote the plugin support for gold.
The LLVM 2.6 release worked with whatever plugin-api.h was in binutils cvs at the time. Also, an older LLVMgold should work fine with a newer binutils.
I don't know what's up with the configure + make having failed when you tried it; Rafael's post about it compiling .o files it shouldn't need to is spot-on. Did you forget the --enable-gold flag when configuring? Or run "make" or "make all gold" instead of "make all-gold"?
Sorry for being unresponsive!
