[Bug binutils/11423] New: can't build firefox 3.6.2 with gold

[felix-glibc at fefe dot de]

When my system LD is gold, the mozilla build fails.  Here's the error message:

I don't know if this is a bug in mozilla or gold.  I'm using gcc 4.4.3 to build 
firefox.  I have seen this behavior before and then switched back to the old 
LD, 
but since gold is now needed to to link time optimization in LLVM, that is no 
longer an option.
