[swift-build-dev] SwiftPM bootstrap and gold linker

[Ryan Lovelett]

Done https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-941 👍

I'm not sure where this falls on a priority list (if at all). So I'll
say that I'm interested in attempting to fix this because its of a
relatively high priority for me.

Additionally do you have intuition into where you'd look to fix this? If
not no worries.
