they also provide the original bfd ld and a newer llvm-based

DMD emit object file that, depending on the version of Gold:
- Will produce broken binaries.
- Will fail with cryptic internal error;
I've tried to patch Gold, to accept dmd's file, but eventually
ran out of time. If one want to take over that work I can point
some places in Gold's source code to look at. I'd also not be
that surprised that DMD does emit somthing weird in its object
files.
