I suspect that it this is the gold issue. I should have looked at your
command line a bit more carefully; I suspect you want 

    SRC_HC_OPTS     += -optl-B/usr/bin/ld.gold
    
Hopefully this will do it; at least the option appears to make it to the
right phase now.

Is the Debian packaging tracked in version control somewhere? All I can
find is the packaging tarball [1].
