Undefined symbols when bootstrapping with ld.gold in DragonFly BSD

[tuxillo]

Summary

TL;DR: When building rust 1.82 onwards and trying to link the rustc_driver with ld.gold, it will fail with the following error:

ld.gold is deprecated in GCC 15

Closing this, as it is a gold issue. To resolve this, use a different maintained linker like GNU ld (BFD), or lld.
