      gold is a new, optimised, multi-threaded linker with support
      for plugins. Designed to be a drop-in replacement for the
      original linker, ld, it can be much faster, with a 5:1 or
      bigger ratio being not uncommon, YMMV.

      can change which linker will get called:
        CTNG_LD_IS=gold     will unconditionally call the gold linker
