It works well if default linker in toolchain is GNU ld but in some cases we can have gold to be the default linker and also ship GNU ld but not as default in such cases its called $(PREFIX)ld.bfd, with this patch we make sure that if $(PREFIX)ld.bfd exists than we use that for our ld. This way it does not matter what the default ld is.
