I'll go through the individual patches later, but a general comment:
You say "tested on x86_64". More detail is needed. Have you tested both
LTO-enabled and LTO-disabled configurations, making sure there are no
regressions in each case? I think such testing of both configurations is
needed. In addition, an LTO-enabled cross from a non-ELF host to an ELF
target should be tested (there are five non-ELF hosts in the secondary
platforms list for 4.5; any one of them could be used for this, or a
non-ELF host not on that list; I realise gold's plugin support may not yet
be portable to such hosts so that part of the patch may not be testable
for this case).
