Linking with gold fails due to an internal error in gold. The ovmf linker is gcc, which has a -fuse-ld=bfd option to choose the linker which (for ovmf) is known to work.
Like the choice of the compilers, this is done in ovmf-native. To keep that recipe independent of DISTRO_FEATURES, choosing bfd is done unconditionally.
