--- Comment #2 from Cary Coutant <ccoutant at gmail dot com> ---
Let's use PR 18836 for a broader discussion on the topic of LTO and early
debug.

With the given script, Gnu ld will link t.o as if it had been named on the
command line. Gold will not; we treat the filenames (with or without wildcards)
as filters, and gold will not link a file unless it's given on the command line
or in an INPUT command in a linker script.

In addition, gold does not support partial linker scripts. If you have a linker
script with a SECTIONS clause, you'll need to provide a complete description of
the output section, or the final output will almost certainly not be usable.
