A user may configure `LDFLAGS` but not `LD`. When choosing a linker, we will prefer `ldd`, then `ld.gold`, then `ld.bfd` -- however, we have to check for a working linker. If either of these fail, we try the next in line. However, we were not considering the `$LDFLAGS` when checking if these linkers worked. So we would pick a linker that does not support the current $LDFLAGS and fail further down the line when we used that linker with those flags. Fixes #24565, where `LDFLAGS=-Wl,-z,pack-relative-relocs` is not supported by `ld.gold` but that was being picked still.
