forcing the linker to be a particular one (i.e. gold vs bfd)


Hello,

In a one year old thread, there was a discussion about a patch adding -fuse-ld=gold and -fuse-ld=bfd options to GCC.

It seems the GCC part of the patch was never actually committed, as there were some problems with LTO:
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2011-01/msg00287.html

Unfortunately there was no detail about what these problems were.

Could someone elaborate?

Are there plans to actually bring such a feature?

Thanks

Christophe.
