Does anyone know why the bfd linker is needed and why the gold linker doesn't work for the emulated TLS?
It's required for LDC's custom TLS emulation for Android, see 1st point in https://wiki.dlang.org/Build_D_for_Android#Directions_for_future_work. lld supports custom linker scripts AFAIK, so that should get it to work as well (putting the two sections adjacent to each other). There's a runtime check making sure the executable has been linked as expected.
