gold should either do this upon start (like OpenJDK does), or degrade gracefully if running out of descriptors (perhaps resulting in less parallelism, or additional open/close system calls, like databases handle this). Raising ulimit -n is just a kludge. We can't do it globally because it introduces memory corruption in some select-using programs.
