But I'm leaning more towards just enabling gold on x86_64 -- for other

I'd love it to be an option for AArch64.
I hear you.
My current thinking is that I'm going to introduce a configure argument,
something like --with-toolchain-linker=gold, and if it is enabled, I'll
verify that gold is indeed present, and if it supports --threads. It
will be available on all gcc platforms.
This will take some more time to write than my initial one-liner, so
I'll take this back to the drawing board for awhile.
