We don't use the gold linker.
Was it always the case?

ACK 0953c622f9612e5adc485d7909e33e0a5b54cbcb.
binutils-gold just installs binutils (and the gold linker) in any case.
On supported Debian and Ubuntu distros, the
binutils-goldis a virtual package which provides thebinutilsone, and the latter in turn does install the gold linker anyway.Of course, non-Debian-based distros can have different package structure.
FWIW, another virtual package, which we mention in our docs, is
libz-devwhich actually provideszlib1g-dev(see somewhat related discussion in #19783). - fanquake merged this on Nov 28, 2022
