+Subject: [PATCH] configure: fix gold linker support detection
+
+Submitted upstream: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-44487
+
+While the -fuse-ld=gold flag is related to linking, it is an argument to the
+compiler driver to tell it what linker to execute, NOT an option to tell the
+linker to behave differently.
+
+So it shouldn't get prefixed with -Wl when passed though the compiler driver.
+
+Fixes http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/92c/92c3fb4ddb934115b228652bb8c972bb7459bb40/
