[Bug gold/10238] New: Gold linker does not resolve symbols using indirect dependencies

[apratt at us dot ibm dot com]

The "gold" linker in the weekly build 2.19.51 does not resolve unresolved
symbols using indirect dependent shared libraries, while the default linker does
do so.

I found this on x86_64 Linux RHEL 4 U6. The default linker I have is GNU ld
version 2.15.92.0.2 20040927.

If you have an object file "top.o" that depends on a symbol exported by some
library, the default linker can resolve that undefined symbol even if you don't
mention the library on the link line, as long as you mention some library that
depends on the needed library. But the gold linker won't resolve that way and
reports an undefined symbol for the same command line.
