# Build toolchain wrapper for preprocessor, C and C++ compiler and setup
# symlinks for everything else. Skip gdb symlink when we are building our
# own gdb to prevent two gdb's in output/host/usr/bin.
# When the link-time-optimization flag '-flto' is used, then the compiler
# and binutils have to support lto. ar/ranlib need to be called with the
# lto plugin. The wrappers *-gcc-ar and *-gcc-ranlib provided by GCC could
# be used as drop-ins for ar/runlib when Makefiles are used which do not
# pass the lto arguments.
# The LTO support in gcc creates wrappers for ar, ranlib and nm which load
# the lto plugin. These wrappers are called *-gcc-ar, *-gcc-ranlib, and
# *-gcc-nm and should be used instead of the real programs when -flto is
# used. However, we should not add the toolchain wrapper for them, and they
# match the *cc-* pattern. Therefore, an additional case is added for *-ar,
# *-ranlib and *-nm.
