Hi,
Evgeniy Stepanov recently found a limitation of the plugin api with
--start-lib --end-lib: there is no way to tell the difference from a
file not being included in the link to it being included and all the
symbols being preempted.
There is more information at https://llvm.org/pr26674.
Cheers,
Rafael
