FYI: On most GNU/Linux platforms, BFD is the 'normal, system linker'.
For example:
$ ld -v
GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.31.1
This is the BFD linker on a Debian system.
$ ld.gold -v
GNU gold (GNU Binutils for Debian 2.31.1) 1.16
This is gold on a Debian system. It is installed by the binutils
package, but is not installed as the system linker.
$ ld -v
LLD 8.0.1 (FreeBSD 366581-1200008) (compatible with GNU linkers)
This is LLD on a FreeBSD system. It is the system linker.
