Comment (by cypherpunks):

 It's probably about [https://gitweb.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-
 bundle.git/commitdiff/d8e92e2f4d362216dfff1790026309e6c0a51b58
 d8e92e2f4d362216dfff1790026309e6c0a51b58] commit (fix for #12103 as is).
 It builds independent binutils and creates new `ld.gold` that used instead
 of link to `hardened-ld` (real `ld.gold` should be renamed by wrapper to
 `ld.gold.real`). Then it using such "non hardened" ld.gold later.

 With hardened wrappers enabled `ld` files are:
 `ld` is link to `ld.gold` or `ld.bfd` (depends preferable linker)
 `ld.gold` and `ld.bfd` are links to `hardened-ld`
 real linkers are `ld.gold.real` and `ld.bfd.real` which used by `hardened-
 ld` perl script.

 Building of compiler or linker should to count existence of hardened
 wrappers and allow to use them instead of unconditional replacing of
 stuff.
