 Yes, that's what I thought, too.\\
 My experience was, `ld` was called instead of `ld.gold`. I'll make further
 sure of that later.\\
 Could you please also confirm that `ld.gold` do get called?

 Thank you very much for the detailed reply to the test results.

 Again, I'll tweak, build & test later, and keep an eye on those tickets.
 If there's anything I can help, please count me in. :-)
