The bfd library (used by ar and nm) already searches for plugins in
$install_dir/lib/bfd-plugins/. Maybe we could pass an option to llvm's
configure to tell it where to install a copy of the plugin?

Ah, cool. I think we will need a little extra magic in the Makefiles
for this too but should be pretty straightforward. I filed PR4564, I
may do this at some point if no one beats me to it.

Chris, can you add a gold-plugin component to bugzilla?
