You are misinterpreting the book. It's ld.bfd versus ld.gold, not ld-new versus ld.gold. ld-new is a special ld.bfd instance prepared for "adjusting the toolchain". > What benefit is ld-new over using ld-gold to build Linux from scratch? It's the default. /usr/bin/ld is a hardlink to /usr/bin/ld.bfd on most Linux distros, instead of /usr/bin/ld.gold. > So should ld.new be replaced with ld.gold? If you mean "should we use ld.gold instead of ld.bfd", my answer is "your distro, your rules". But if you mean "ld-new", NO. If you want to use ld.gold you should also prepare something like "ld.gold-new" for "adjusting the toolchain". -- Xi Ruoyao <[email protected]> School of Aerospace Science and Technology, Xidian University -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
