As must as it's tempting to use LLD for LTO, it still causes some
subtle problems with the build, and it's still better to keep using
BFD ld for the time being. Doing so requires the gold plugin, which
only requires to pass cmake the directory where the binutils headers
are, and they are part of the gcc toolchain headers.
