Slim LTO requires running ar/nm/ranlib with the LTO plugin. The most
convenient way to get this into existing Makefiles is using small
wrappers that pass the plugin. This matches how other compilers
(LLVM, icc) do this too.

My previous attempt at using shell scripts for this
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2010-10/msg02471.html
was not approved. Here's another attempt using wrappers written
in C.  This adds wrappers add a --plugin argument before calling the
respective binutils utilities.

The logic gcc.c uses to find the files is very complicated. I didn't
try to replicate it 100% and left out some magic. I would be interested
if this simple method works for everyone or if more code needs
to be added. This only needs to support LTO supporting hosts of course.

I didn't add any documentation because the syntax is exactly the same as
the native ar/ranlib/nm.

v2: Address review comments. Makefile follows go now, use own binaries
for each sub program.

Passed bootstrap and test suite on x86_64-linux.

	* Makefile.in (MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Add gcc-ar/nm/ranlib.
	(native): Add gcc-ar, gcc-nm, gcc-ranlib.
	(AR_LIBS, gcc-ar, gcc-ar.o, gcc-ranlib, gcc-ranlib.o,
         gcc-nm, gcc-nm.o, gcc-ranlib.c, gcc-nm.c): Add.
	(install): Depend on install-gcc-ar.
	(install-gcc-ar): Add.
	(uninstall): Uninstall gcc-ar, gcc-nm, gcc-ranlib.
	* gcc-ar.c: Add new file.

In my review queue.  Will try to get to it shortly.

Ok.

We can improve/fix things if there is a need to as followup.

Thanks,
