OE has defaulted to gcc5 since last release, and gold issue is fixed in 
binutils 2.25
which is what we use in 2.0 as well so it might be OK to unbolt this fix. 
Although I am not sure
about the original problem reported in PR32219 is fixed for gcc 4.9 if we 
remove this fix.
Have you narrowed down your issue to this patch ? if not, then it would be good 
to do so
