Support using ld.gold as the linker #6

Currently, the musl based ghc binaries provided by this repo are configured using the --disable-ld-override flag, which forces ghc to be built with the GNU ld instead of ld.gold. It also instructs ghc to use GNU ld as it's linker. The reason that we do that, is because when ld.gold is used, the build process fails. Also, when ghc is built with GNU ld (so that the build succeeds) but then is instructed to use ld.gold as its linker, the binaries that it produces segfault immediately at startup.

@nh2 has filed an upstream bug that seems to describe the same issue.
