Re: RFA/RFC: Enable both gold and ld in a single toolchain

Hi H.J.

-fuse-ld is misleading. ld may be gold. How about
"-fuse-ld=[gold|bfd]" which
is consistent with linker names and configure options.


A good point. I have attached a revised patch with the option named as
you suggest. I also omitted to include your name and Roland's in the
ChangeLog entries, so I have updated those as well.

Any other issues with the patch ?

trying to use -fuse-ld=gold without having gold installed, prints:

  $ gcc -fuse-ld=gold main.c
  collect2: cannot find 'ld'

which may be misleading, only with -Wl,-debug collect2 is able to print the better diagnostic message. Maybe not worth for delaying the patch.
