+# FIXME(thaJeztah): workaround for building on Fedora 41 on arm64
+#
+# go1.21 and up have a patch that enforces the use of ld.gold to work around
+# a bug in GNU binutils. See;

+# Fedora 41 and up has a fixed version of binutils, and no longer requires that
+# patch, but will fail without ld.gold installed;
