Small status update... I'm still on it but will now first do a build with gold in the relevant parts on amd64. These arm machines are just too slow and there are some more fixes required inside the compiler to work properly with gold. But overall, would you like to switch to gold only for arm? Or prefer consistency and use it for every arch?
