ARM: 8405/1: VDSO: fix regression with toolchains lacking ld.bfd executable
The Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2014.05 toolchain (gcc 4.8.3, binutils 2.24.51) has a GCC which implements -fuse-ld, and it doesn't include the gold linker, but it lacks an ld.bfd executable in its installation. This means that passing -fuse-ld=bfd fails with: VDSO arch/arm/vdso/vdso.so.raw collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld' Arguably this is a deficiency in the toolchain, but I suspect it's commonly used enough that it's worth accommodating: just use cc-ldoption (to cause a link attempt) instead of cc-option to test whether we can use -fuse-ld. So -fuse-ld=bfd won't be used with this toolchain, but the build will rightly succeed, just as it does for toolchains which don't implement -fuse-ld (and don't use gold as the default linker). Note: this will change the failure mode for a corner case I was trying to handle in d2b30cd4b722, where the toolchain defaults to the gold linker and the BFD linker is not found in PATH, from: VDSO arch/arm/vdso/vdso.so.raw collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld' i.e. the BFD linker is not found, to: OBJCOPY arch/arm/vdso/vdso.so BFD: arch/arm/vdso/vdso.so: Not enough room for program headers, try linking with -N that is, we fail to prevent gold from being used as the linker, and it produces an object that objcopy can't digest.
