nickc reported a new issue against the project: `releng` that you are following:
``
The GOLD linker is currently part of the binutils package. Unfortunately it seems that
Google have decided not to continue development of the linker, and so it is possible that
it may start to bit-rot. The linker is still being maintained by the upstream GNU
Binutils project, but new development is not happening. Thus as a precautionary measure I
would like to move GOLD into its own sub-package of the binutils, in case in the future we
decide that it should be deprecated.
As an aside , it appears that development of LLD, the linker from the LLVM project, is
taking off, so in the long term LLD may well replace GOLD.
Ideally I would like to introduce this change into Fedora 31. It will affect other
packages that use GOLD as their linker of choice, but I am hopeful that targetting F31
will provide sufficient time to locate and update all such packages.
This request is not essential, and if it decided not to allow it, then GOLD can just
continue to be part of the normal binutils package.
