Did some Google search on plugin and found 1 + 2.

https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2015-02/msg00043.html
http://llvm.org/docs/GoldPlugin.html

So, gonna test, if git (without subversion, git-svn) is build ...

# git clone git://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git
# mkdir binutils-build && cd binutils-build
# ../binutils-gdb/configure --enable-gold --enable-plugins && make -j8
# cd gold
# make check-TESTS

Theres no need for the gold configure & build part, if i am well?

Thanks,
