SwiftPM bootstrap and gold linker

Development Package Manager
1

I am using a newer version of binutils (2.26) which is leading me to run
into a known issue with the linker. The suggested work around is to use
the gold linker* [1] [2].

However when I run the gold linker with the SwiftPM bootstrap it doesn't
seem to honor the gold linker request. Is this a feature or a bug?

Done [SR-941] SwiftPM bootstrap and gold linker · Issue #5383 · apple/swift-package-manager · GitHub :+1:

I'm not sure where this falls on a priority list (if at all). So I'll
say that I'm interested in attempting to fix this because its of a
relatively high priority for me.

Additionally do you have intuition into where you'd look to fix this? If
not no worries.
