Comment (by slomo):

 For allowing to build with gold, ticket #7452 has to be fixed too
 (includes patch)

 After that it seems to be possible to build 7.8.3 with gold by setting
 CONF_GCC_LINKER_OPTS_STAGE1="-fuse-ld=gold"
 CONF_GCC_LINKER_OPTS_STAGE2="-fuse-ld=gold"
 and calling configure with --with-ld=ld.gold

 This assumes that stage0 ghc works out of the box with its configured
 linker (e.g. the default system linker is still bfd, as is on Debian). And
 this also requires the patch from ticket #9336

 I'm not 100% sure yet if the build will succeed, it's still running. But
 this brings us one step closer at least.
