I built a cross gold, but unfortunately it failed to link an arm-v7 built
chrome, because it doesn't support some of the relocations generated by the
compiler.
I think it wouldn't be too hard to add those to gold, it might be worth it
since gnu ld takes about 15 minutes to link release (and >1h to link debug).
