Enable usage of gold linker with GHC
The Gold linker is much faster than GNU ld, so it would speed up Haskell compile times if it could be used with GHC. Unfortunately, GHC currently passes some linker options that gold does not recognize. If there is no fundamental incompatibility, this would be a useful feature.
