[PATCH] BaseTools-CLANG38: Add O3 in Dlink2 flag

[PATCH] BaseTools-CLANG38: Add O3 in Dlink2 flag

[Shi, Steven]

CLANG38 build fail after CC_FLAG is added in the link rule.
This failure is because the CLANG38 enable the LTO through LLVMgold.so
linker plugin, but the LLVMgold.so plugin cannot accept the clang -Oz
CC flag as build option. After CC_FLAG is added in the link rule,
the LLVMgold.so plugin reports linking error. LLVMgold.so only accept
-O0 ~ -O3, and you can see it in the LLVM gold plugin source code
in below:

http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/tags/RELEASE_380/final/tools/gold/
gold-plugin.cpp line173:

if (opt[1] < '0' || opt[1] > '3')
   message(LDPL_FATAL, "Optimization level must be between 0 and 3");

Add -O3 in the *_CLANG38_X64_DLINK2_FLAGS to override the -Oz flag in
*_CLANG38_X64_CC_FLAGS to pass LLVMgold.so linking.

[Gao, Liming]

CLANG38 IA32 Arch also requires this change.
