             Bug #: 56062
           Summary: Enhance -fuse-ld= option
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: driver
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: d.g.gorbachev@gmail.com


Currently, GCC supports options -fuse-ld=bfd and -fuse-ld=gold only. It could
be generalized. For example, -fuse-ld=hjl would use a linker called ld.hjl.

Yes, but why?

How many linkers do you have in a single directory?

If you have different veersions of binutils in differnt paths then use -B to
find them. The difficulty with ld and gold is they are installed side by side
in the same dir. That's not a common problem, so why generalise for it?

(Remember someone has to maintain the code, adding useless features just
because it's possible isn't a good idea.)

Yeah ... I even was moderately against adding -fuse-ld in the first place ...

Yes, it is not a very important thing, but it should not be harder to maintain
then -fuse-ld=bfd, -fuse-ld=gold options. It is not like I suggest to add
something completely new, just to improve already existing feature.

Since you haven't provided a use case or explained why you want it, and
maintainers have said they don't want it, I think the onus is on your to
justify it and/or provide a tested patch, not expect other people to do it just
because you want it.
