I can try locally at least (if i can use less than 6 hours to build KDE on BS it would be nice :p ) , however do we have a specific macro to specify using ld.gold instead of ld (i never played with linker before) ?
Also from the mandriva thread [1]. maybe we can considere switching to gold by default for all packages (with somes exceptions for kernel & others packages). Another « solution » could be using alternatives for binutils so a package can simply use gold linker by simply requering a binutils-gold package like it's done in debian ?
