[PATCH] [BZ #14995] glibc fails to build if gold is the default linker, even if ld.bfd is available


Use gold to build glibc exposed some serious gold bugs.  I opened:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18102
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18103

and noted:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14995#c10

This patch adds --enable-gold to use gold to build glibc.  It can be
used to work on gold issues.  If --enable-gold isn't used, it will check
if gold is the default linker and -fuse-ld=bfd is available.  If gold
is the default linker, uses -fuse-ld=bfd to create shared libraries if
it is available.  Tested on x32, x86-64 and x86-32.  OK for master?  


H.J.
----
The gold linker has no builtin default linker script and it can't be
to create shared libraries.  Unless --enable-gold is used, it should
only be used to create executables.  Use -fuse-ld=bfd to create shared
libraries.

	[BZ #14995]
	* Makerules (shlib-LDFLAGS): New.
	($(common-objpfx)shlib.lds): Use it.
	(build-shlib): Likewise.
	(build-module-helper): Likewise.
	($(common-objpfx)libc_pic.os): Likewise.
	* config.make.in (use-bfd): New.
	* configure: Regenerated.
	* configure.ac: Add --enable-gold.
	Accept gold 1.11 or higher.
	(libc_cv_cc_use_bfd): Set to yes if -fuse-ld=bfd works.  AC_SUBST.
	(LDBFDFLAGS): New.
	Use $LDBFDFLAGS to check if default -shared layout is sufficient.
