Good question.  For local testing, I think it might be sufficient to
add:

EXTRA_OECONF += "--enable-gold=default"

to your binutils-cross recipe.  You can verify whether it's worked by
running "i586-oe-linux-ld --version" and checking to see whether it
claims to be gold or not.

That's definitely not a patch that you ought to check in, though.  For
wider consumption I guess there ought to be some kind of knob that
DISTROs can tweak to select the linker of their choice.  As far as I
know there isn't any such mechanism at present.
