well I post my solution there is no way to use gold plug-in without recompiling LLVM. If you don't want to change any thing in root directory, then you can compile and install binutils and LLVM in same place it will automatically generate ld,ar and as (not ld_new) in bin directory and since llvm first looks to its own directory to find tools (clang -print-search-dirs) so you can be sure that clang will invoke ld gold in link time first. Its not mentioned in LLVMgold.html but its needed to create bfd-plugins directory in lib and install both LLVMgold.so and linLTO.so there.
