23 It might be a good idea to copy this logic to handle multi-word LD values.
24
25 https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/eclass/toolchain-funcs.eclass#n498
26
27 Or, a nicer alternative would be to refactor tc-ld-disable-gold into 2
28 functions: move most of the logic into a new function
29 "tc-ld-force-bfd", and update tc-ld-disable-gold to call the former if
30 tc-ld-is-gold is true. I can write a patch for that if you agree.
