elfutils http://elfutils.fedorahosted.org/ comes with an elflint program which
flags a couple of issues when elfutils is build against GNU gold. make check had
the following failure messages (while running elflint over the binaries and
shared libraries of elfutils just build). I will try to split t

This is most likely http://gcc.gnu.org/PR40854 "Conflicting crc32 functions in
libiberty and zlib". Should be fixed in gcc/libiberty now (crc32 renamed to
xcrc32).

Trying to build the latest binutils on cygwin because I want to
test gcc, but no such luck:

The solution is simply to allow single and double dash before a DASH_Z in
options.cc. (-z --defs or any other double dashed option after -z is also
accepted by GNU ld, although I haven't seen that used in practice yet
GNU ld supports -z -option like:
$ ld -z -nodlopen -z -defs -o main main.o
gold doesn't, it has to be rewritten as ld -z nodlopen -z defs.

Summary: gold only accepts -z option, not -z -option

GNU gold (GNU Binutils 2.19.51.20090724) 1.9 is missing the GNU ld -pie,
--pic-executable option to create a position independent executable.

I also hit this and I must admit it is slightly confusing at first. We were
linking -lnss3 which works fine with GNU ld, but with GNU gold you suddenly get
lots of unresolved references to PR_ functions. If you know a
