Issue Description:

I'm trying to compile swift on my archlinux box.
And I found that link step of swift compiler binary for debug build need lots of time.

In my case, ld command was running over 3 hours, but it could not complete link. and I could see ld consumed all system memories,

But after switched to gold, link step was completed in 3-4 minutes.

I'm using..
ArchLinux
binutils 2.25.1 (gold 1.11)
System Memory : 16Gb
Swap Memory : 16Gb

This already exists, you can use `../utils/build-script .. – --use-gold-linker`.

Another method while utilizing presets is by adding use-gold-linker=1 to the relevant preset in swift/utils/build-presets.ini.
