Summary:
Currently on most platforms you have to manually link the c++ abi library used with libc++ whenever you use libc++. So your typical libc++ command like invocation might look like:
```
clang++ -stdlib=libc++ foo.cpp -lc++abi
```
Having to manually link `libc++abi.so` makes it harder for libc++ to be used generically. This patch fixes that by generating a linker script for `libc++.so` that correctly links the ABI library. On linux the linker script for libc++abi would look like:
```
# libc++.so
INPUT(libc++.so.1 -lc++abi)
```
With the linker script you can now use libc++ using only `-stdlib=libc++`. This is the technique that is used on FreeBSD in ordered to link cxxrt and I think it's the best approach to make our users lives simpler.
The CMake option used to enable this is `LIBCXX_ENABLE_ABI_LINKER_SCRIPT`. In future I would like to enable this by default on all platforms except for Darwin.
