You had to add an option for enabling the gold-specific
extensions. Maybe its still not too late? Who knows...

It doesn't. Even adding 0x doesn't help because -Ttext
in gold means something completely different than in bfd.
What works in all cases is only
--section-start=.text=0xaddr

Its not something that can't be done.
But you must be aware that gold being used as a drop-in
replacement for ld.bfd results in a broken builds.
It also appears to me that gold doesn't search /usr/local/lib
by default, so even many autoconf scripts fail.
