Get rid of the build dependency on ld.gold in ydbinstall.sh
# Final Release Note
# Description
# Draft Release Note
Get rid of the build dependency on rare `ld.gold` in `ydbinstall.sh`. This linker builds poorly in the latest versions of binutils. Many distributions do not have it.
It has already been banned in Gentoo, since bug reports are not accepted and the developers of binutils do not support it in upstream.
In my opinion, it is not worth leaving behind a lot of Linux distributive that do not support ld.gold for the sake of winning a few seconds during linking. In the near future, such Linux distributive will be 100%.
As a last resort, I ask you to make the dependency on it non-blocking. So that the regular `ld` linker is used.
Here are some links to discussions of errors in `ld.gold` in gentoo. This is a distribution where they try to compile the latest versions of utilities.
