Thanks. Attached is the patch for plugin-api.h which needs to be applied
to GCC and binutils (plugin_api_new_input.patch). Also attached is the
gold patch to implement the new functionality
(gold_new_input_handler.patch). ChangeLogs for both patches are below. I
don't have write access to either repo, so would you be willing to
commit on my behalf?

I'd be happy to if I can be added to the EditorGroup (my username is
