Not so gentle ping :)
What should happen in order for this patch to be accepted?
Hello.
We came up to conclusion that one can use the currently supported
option
-fuse-ld={bfd,gold,lld} with -B that can point to an arbitrary path
the such linker is expected.

Hello.
Thank you for the reply. I'd like to use mold linker with gcc:
https://github.com/rui314/mold. So your solution doesn't help.
Well, kind of works. You only need to create a symlink called
ld which will point to your linker (plus using -B argument as mentioned).
There are 2 options:
1. Add mold to -fuse-ld option
2. Implement --ld-path
The 2nd option is much more future-proof: you won't need to add new
-fuse-ld variant each time new linker comes up. To provide some
context: clang had been supporting passing path to -fuse-ld, but since
clang 12 this is deprecated in favor of new --ld-path option. I think
we should take an example from clang and implement this useful feature
in gcc as well.
Can you please provide a pointer for the deprecation.
I'm adding Jakub who recommended using the -B argument.
Martin
