If you want to submit a patch for this, I wouldn't object.<br>

<p>The switch to gold was indeed done for build performance. I don't
have any numbers around, but it was pretty considerable for
Hotspot incremental builds. There should be examples in the mail
archives for this list. <br>
</p>
<p>We have not seen any problems related to this switch at Oracle
and we have been running with it for many years now.</p>
