being multithreaded it speeds up the link time significantly on some large applications. You could fix this by providing own ld script where you remove the VERSION contruct. Since you may not be building all those qt libraries etc. you might consider not using gold. another option is to use ld.bfd just for mariadb package by setting LD properly for mariadb build.
