The issue at hand is that GNU ld accepts --format=default but gold
doesn't. and GNU LD does not accept plain --format=elf so there is no
generic solution.

can gold be changed so "default" means "elf" or provides the same
behavior as gnu ld ?


I didn't know --format=default worked.  Fixed for gold like so.
Committed to mainline.

	* options.cc (General_options::string_to_object_format): Accept
	"default".

Cool, thanks for your time :-)
