FYI: On most GNU/Linux platforms, BFD is the 'normal, system linker'. 
For example:

$ ld -v
GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.31.1

This is the BFD linker on a Debian system.

$ ld.gold -v
GNU gold (GNU Binutils for Debian 2.31.1) 1.16

This is gold on a Debian system.  It is installed by the binutils 
package, but is not installed as the system linker.

$ ld -v
LLD 8.0.1 (FreeBSD 366581-1200008) (compatible with GNU linkers)

This is LLD on a FreeBSD system.  It is the system linker.
