The gold linker has known issues of failing the build both in random and in predictible ways: - The x86/X32 VDSO build fails with: arch/x86/entry/vdso/vclock_gettime-x32.o:vclock_gettime.c:function do_hres: error: relocation overflow: reference to 'hvclock_page' That's a known issue for years and the usual workaround is to disable CONFIG_X86_32 - A recent build failure is caused by turning a relocation into an absolute one for unknown reasons. See link below. - There are a couple of gold workarounds applied already, but reports about broken builds with ld.gold keep coming in on a regular base and in most cases the root cause is unclear. In context of the most recent fail H.J. stated: "Since building a workable kernel for different kernel configurations isn't a requirement for gold, I don't recommend gold for kernel." So instead of dealing with attempts to duct tape gold support without understanding the root cause and without support from the gold folks, fail the build when gold is detected.
