Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: binutils
I'm playing around with ld.gold and was quite surprised that it just
replaces the standard linker. Surprising because it seems to be
impossible to link a working kernel using ld and I did not find a way to
tell the kernel build process, which linker-binary it should use.
I'd prefer some symlinks in a directory not normally searched by the
shell so I can enable gold if I want by adding the correct path to PATH
(this is very similar to the ccache approach, which provides links to
gcc, g++ etc. in /usr/lib/ccache).
