- 13.7.0:
- Linux:
linking fails with ld.gold (binutils-2.33.1) in this way:

switching to ld.bfd yields in a error-less compilation and installation on gentoo.
Forcing the ld.bfd linker was done by prepending LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -Wl,-fuse-ld=bfd" to the emerge command.
Searching around I found this:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-binutils/2016-12/msg00035.html
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=927573
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15373
Which says that ld.gold does not support the Insert statement in linker scripts.
If you want me to test something, please feel free to do so.
