Comment (by erikd):

 As @rwbarton pointed out in D715, ghc does not call ld directly, but cabal
 might (via the ld fields in the ghc settings file). Instead of setting `ld
 command` to `/usr/bin/ld` it should probably be set to `/usr/bin/ld.gold`
 and the cross compile issue has to be looked at as well.
