Bug#844093: clang-3.9: clang needs library LLVMgold.so from llvm-dev

[Norbert Lange]

Package: clang-3.9
Version: 1:3.9-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Some options require the gold linker and its plugin interface,
this library is however residing in the llvm-dev package - which is not a dependency of clang

To reproduce, uninstall llvm-3.9-dev and run:
echo 'int main() {}' >test.c
clang-3.9 -fuse-ld=gold test.c

Please move this library out of the llvm-dev package, I think llvm-runtime would be correct?
