Comment (by ksaric):

 Right. And if you try to explicitly add gold linker flags to library B, it
 doesn't help, since GHC thinks (heh, I wish) that it doesn't need to use
 gold linker for project A, even if the project A has defined gold linker
 explicitly.

 Anyone can try to modify the project https://github.com/ksaric/bronze-
 linker-client with the flags and without them, and **it will fail in both
 cases**.

 So:
 - project A is using gold linker
 - project B is using project A

 ''Project B can't compile because it's sending parameters for "regular"
 ld, and not gold linker.''
