I could have sworn I was using gold, but looking at my logs it was using the standard linker. Perhaps I’m remembering an attempt from the Swift 3 sources… Anyway, my current attempts are using this invocation now (though I’m getting other failures now):

	utils/build-script -t -R  -j 4 -- --use-gold-linker

Thanks!
