why keep the old behaviour for other archs that have split stack support? Is it

unreviewed/unpinged patch to enable gold for gccgo (attached).

# DP: Pass -fuse-ld=gold to gccgo on targets supporting -fsplit-stack
gcc/go/
* gospec.c (lang_specific_driver): Pass -fuse-ld=gold on targets
supporting -fsplit-stack, unless overwritten.
gcc/
* configure.ac: New define HAVE_GOLD_NON_DEFAULT.
* config.in: Regenerate.
