I think there should be some way to use ghc with gold; gnu ld is very slow and eats memory when you're linking yesod binaries, I don't know if gold is better but would at least like the option to try it out before I upgrade my RAM.
In the past 2 days, there has been work to make ghc use linker settings from /usr/lib/ghc/settings : http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4862 Could that file be moved to /etc? Then, in addition to defaulting to GNU ld even when gold is installed, our GHC binary could be configured to work with gold by those who really want to try that. -- see shy jo
