[Solved] Compiling the kernel without ld.gold

[KWhat]

Hi,

I have default-gold set and I was wondering how to compile the kernel. It seems that ld.gold is not support for kernel compilation, however, I am not sure how to workaround this shortfall. Is it possible to easily switch between ld.bfd and ld.gold? binutils-config doesn't seem to support the --linker flag. I also tried CFLAGS="-fuse-ld=ld.bfd" make oldconfig but this also complains about gold.

Thanks

I'm finding an steadily-increasing number of packages that break with the gold linker. So I've reverted to default bld, and instead use a packages.env file to enable gold on the packages that need it or there's a significant time advantage. That seems to be stuff involving LLVM.
