--- Comment #5 from Mark Millard <[email protected]> ---
Why is LLVMgold.so not part of FreeBSD? The answer is, likely, licensing:

QUOTE ( from https://llvm.org/docs/GoldPlugin.html )
Gold is licensed under the GPLv3. LLVMgold uses the interface file plugin-api.h
from gold which means that the resulting LLVMgold.so binary is also GPLv3. This
can still be used to link non-GPLv3 programs just as much as gold could without
the plugin.
END QUOTE
