Bug#819333: [llvm-3.8-dev] LLVMgold.so is missing, so "clang -flto" is unusable

[Lorenz Hübschle-Schneider]

Dear maintainer,

this issue is still present in version 1:3.8.1-8. According to
http://llvm.org/docs/GoldPlugin.html the fix should be quite simple. I'd
really appreciate it if you could bring back LLVMgold.so in 3.8.

Best,
Lorenz
