No, It does not require gold.  However, if you have gold installed,
you can use -use-linker-plugin to use the linker plugin to communicate
between gold and the compiler.

Yes, that is something I didn't add to the TODO list, but it is a good
feature to have.  Particularly for the testsuite.  We have had bugs
that only happen when using the linker plugin.

Thanks.  Diego.
