It'd be nice if Debian shipped with bfd-plugin support enabled so we could
start shipping plugins.

   $ ar --plugin
   sorry - this program has been built without plugin support

This would be more useful when gold ships as ld, but is still useful for a few
folks (like myself) who work on such plugins.

enabling this shows regressions in the ld testsuite:

Test results, compared with installed binutils:
W: [ld-bootstrap/bootstrap.exp] REGRESSION (PASS -> FAIL): bootstrap with --traditional-format
W: [ld-bootstrap/bootstrap.exp] REGRESSION (PASS -> FAIL): bootstrap with strip
W: [ld-bootstrap/bootstrap.exp] REGRESSION (PASS -> FAIL): bootstrap
W: [ld-bootstrap/bootstrap.exp] REGRESSION (PASS -> FAIL): bootstrap with 
--static
W: [ld-bootstrap/bootstrap.exp] REGRESSION (PASS -> FAIL): bootstrap with --no-keep-memory
W: [ld-bootstrap/bootstrap.exp] REGRESSION (PASS -> FAIL): bootstrap with 
--relax
6 REGRESSIONS (0.60%).
1000 tests: 985 pass (98.50%), 6 fail (0.60%), 8 xfail (0.80%) 0 untested 
(0.00%).
