             Bug #: 14995
           Summary: glibc fails to build if gold is the default linker,
                    even if ld.bfd is available
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.17
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: build
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: Bernhard.Rosenkranzer@linaro.org
                CC: carlos@systemhalted.org
    Classification: Unclassified


If gold is the default linker, but ld.bfd is available (binutils compiled with
--enable-ld --enable-gold=default), glibc configure fails:


checking version of
/usr/lib/gcc/armv7hl-mandriva-linux-gnueabi/4.7.3/../../../../armv7hl-mandriva-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld...
v. ?.??, bad
[...]
configure: error: 
*** These critical programs are missing or too old: ld
*** Check the INSTALL file for required versions.


If the configure script doesn't find a version of "ld" it can use, it should
check for "ld.bfd" in the same location.
