problem with new ld (BFD, actually)

There is a problem in the new BFD code dealing with multiple gp
values. I haven't tracked it down yet, but the result is that if you
get the linker warning:

warning: using multiple gp values

then the resulting binary may segfault. E.g., the Objective-C
compiler has this problem. As a work-around, just continue to use the
old linker.
