[OE-core] glibc broken when linked with gold Was: [oe] State of OE World, 2019-03-16

[Trevor Woerner]

An image built with gold fails on the hardware.

I was able to build core-image-minimal with gold enabled:

configuration:
	Build Configuration:
	BB_VERSION           = "1.40.0"
	BUILD_SYS            = "x86_64-linux"

	DISTRO_VERSION       = "nodistro.0"

	meta                 = "master:aeaca9bb1b1c8bf44818945dc4b2cbd6d4b5cef2"

conf/local.conf addition:
	DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " ld-is-gold"

When run, the kernel is unable to run init, and panics:
