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.
