Is it possible to swap the linker (GCC Gold) that Kotlin Native (with Kotlin 1.5.0 onwards) uses for a newer version (also GCC Gold), and if so where is the linker located on a Linux host? Is
gold the linker that Kotlin Native uses (

I'm wondering if the new linker used by Kotlin 1.5.0 makes linking significantly faster than Kotlin 1.4.31; are there any benchmarks available? From experience linking takes up about two thirds of the build time (painfully
SLOW!) for a Kotlin Native program.
