...if on an architecture which has ld.bfd (aarch64 doesn't), and if it
works - it still does on i386; I'm not so sure about amd64, I just tried
some simple cases with ports-gcc and base-clang by adding -fuse-ld=bfd
to the command line when using the compiler to link, and ld.bfd is
segfaulting while trying to print an "unresolvable %s relocation
against symbol `%s'" error.
