a gold binary explicitly. Substitute this binary into the tests rather
than just directly executing the 'ld' binary.
This should allow folks to inject a cross compiling gold binary, or in
my case to use a gold binary built and installed somewhere other than
/usr/bin/ld. It should also allow the tests to find 'ld.gold' so that
things work even if gold isn't the default on the system.
I've only stubbed out support in the makefile to preserve the existing
behavior with none of the fancy logic. If someone else wants to add
logic here, they're welcome to do so.

This format is simply a regular object file with the bitcode stored in a
section named ".llvmbc", plus any number of other (non-allocated) sections.
One immediate use case for this is to accommodate compilation processes
which expect the object file to contain metadata in non-allocated sections,
such as the ".go_export" section used by some Go compilers [1], although I
imagine that in the future we could consider compiling parts of the module
(such as large non-inlinable functions) directly into the object file to
improve LTO efficiency.
