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

I haven't tried your test case yet, but in general this is intended behaviour
for gold.  The GNU linker goes to considerable effort to replicate the search
path used by the dynamic linker.  This leads to issues of the program linker and
the dynamic linker getting out of synch and finding different libraries.  I
don't think that doing this searching in the program linker is necessary, and I
chose not to implement it in gold.  So, given that the difference is
intentional, can you explain whether this is an important feature that gold
should implement, and why?  Without a good reason, my inclination is to close
this bug report as WONTFIX.  Thanks.
