When I look at gcc/configure.ac and gcc/exec-tool.in, it seems to me that if you pass -fuse-ld=gold the tool will execute ORIGINAL_LD_GOLD_FOR_TARGET. Can we simply change the configure script to test whether that file exists when deciding whether to set HAVE_GOLD_NON_DEFAULT? Also, it seems to me that all we really need to set is HAVE_GOLD. The code in gospec.c can pass -fuse-ld=gold when -fuse-ld does not appear and HAVE_GOLD is true. It's not necessary to only pass -fuse-ld=gold when gold is not the default. Ian
