Bringing this back , since i'm facing issues with mozilla / icu linking
with ld/building with clang. In my limited testing, instead of the big
patch you were referring to, just using elflink.c r1.76 was enough to
fix my issue.

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=908080 for the whole
story, and
http://www.sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/bfd/elflink.c.diff?cvsroot=src&r1=1.75&r2=1.76
for the much smaller fix.

Whatever was the reason for backing this out (iirc, xenocara blowed on
ppc), this needs to be reconsidered, since we're not going to move to
binutils 2.17 right now.
