Summary: gold fails to override built-in symbols

test case for symbol overriding
I've been trying to dynamically link tcmalloc into my application and was
troubled to see that sometimes the link didn't "take" (i.e. ldd revealed no
dependency on libtcmalloc.so and the built-in libc malloc was invoked by the
application). After debugging for a little while, I've produced a simple test
case showing the problem. When /usr/bin/ld is symlinked to ld.bfd, the test
passes. When it's symlinked to ld.gold, the test fails. This is how my binutils
package layout works (I'm running Ubuntu 14.04).
I'm not familiar enough with the details of linking to understand why it's
failing, but as gold is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for ld, I figured
this is a reasonable place to start.
