Does ghc 7.6.1 support gold ld?

[Magicloud Magiclouds]

Well, it does not seem so.
Although around 7.0, there were patches to make gold ld work. But
until now, the configure script is still missing something. For
example, it checks that gold ld is GNU ld. Thus it uses ldscript to
input .o files. But in fact, at least the version I am using, gold ld
does not take relative paths from ldscript.
After a few modifications to the root configure script (not others for
libraries). I got it make-able. Now I am stuck at install step. The
error is no HsBase.o file....
