The binutils package in Debian 10 works fine. I've built Non many times using it with no problems.
Gold is a linker originally developed by Google. It suffers from bitrot since they stopped maintaining it. It's included in the Debian binutils package as ld.gold, but the compiler uses ld.bfd (old style ld) by default. If in doubt just make sure /usr/bin/ld is a symlink to /usr/bin/ld.bfd and you shouldn't have a problem. BTW, please use plain text, not HTML for email to mailing lists. HTML is hard to read in a text-based mail client. John On Mon, Jan 11, 2021 at 05:53:40PM +0100, Aodh??n ??
