Well, depending on how broken gold on sparc* actually is, wouldn't it be an option to simply make /usr/bin/ld.gold a symlink to ld.bfd? That workaround would be trivial to implement as well. This would have the additional benefit that this workaround would apply for all packages that use gold and this workaround can be dropped exactly when gold has been fixed. >> Don't you think we should first understand what is broken and what the >> impact is? > > Well, gold is missing support for SPARCs STT-REGISTER I don't actually know what that is. Does that mean every executable that has been built with gold is broken on sparc?
