From what I've gathered from here, you introduced a new linker and
found that it does not link many programmes linking with the standard
linker. I haven't heard of it before, nor was it mentioned as
(possible) release goal (IIRC, correction welcome). And about the only
advantage seems to be the avoidance of certain classes of possible
errors, where I don't know how common they are.
I'm tempted to call this a wishlist item, but will first talk about it
with upstream.
And please CC: this bug if a decision is made regarding the Debian
wide usage of binutils-gold.
Greetings
Helge
