OK, my previous patch does nothing, the only way to fix this properly would be
a spec file that overrides the compiler driver behaviour and uses ld.bfd.
However, after some experimentation the truth is that gold *can* be used to
build glibc, and I see only 7 regressions on x86_64.
Therefore the approach I'm going to take is: You set gold as the default
linker, and we're going to support gold 1.11 and newer.
You'll need to fix gold, the testsuite or the implementation to pass those 7
regressions. Building and using glibc built by gold is subject to testsuite
results.
