Bug#670264: gcc-snapshot: should be buildable with binutils-gold installed

[Vincent Lefevre <vincent@vinc17.net>]

Package: gcc-snapshot
Version: 20120407-1
Severity: wishlist

I can't build gcc-snapshot if binutils-gold is installed:

ypig:...snapshot-20120407> dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc
dpkg-buildpackage: source package gcc-snapshot
dpkg-buildpackage: source version 20120407-1
dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by Matthias Klose <doko@debian.org>
dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture amd64
 dpkg-source --before-build gcc-snapshot-20120407
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Build conflicts: binutils-gold
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting.
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)

It is annoying to remove a package just because to build some
other package.

BTW, binutils-gold just does a divert. There should be a way to
choose the wanted linker.
