Because of CVE-2018-6574, some compiler options and linker options are restricted to prevent arbitrary code execution.

golang/go#23672

By this change, building a Go code with LLVM Go bindings causes a compilation error as follows.

  go build llvm.org/llvm/bindings/go/llvm: invalid flag in #cgo LDFLAGS: -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names

llvm-go tool generates cgo LDFLAGS directive from `llvm-config --ldflags` and it contains -Wl,option options. But -Wl,option is banned by default. To avoid this problem, we need to set $CGO_LDFLAGS_ALLOW environment variable to notify a compiler that the flags should be allowed.

  $ export CGO_LDFLAGS_ALLOW='-Wl,(-search_paths_first|-headerpad_max_install_names)'

By default for go 1.10 and go 1.9.5 these options should appear in the accepted set of options, however, if you're running into the error it's useful to have this documented.
