No special hardware is needed, but a environment capable of building
packages is desirable.
First install the binutils package (if not already installed) and make
sure that both ld.bfd and ld.gold are in the search path.
Then try uninstalling the binutils-gold sub-package. This should
remove ld.gold. Try reinstalling it, which should restore ld.gold.

Please advertize the new sub-package name, binutils-gold, in a more
prominent place, e.g. in the Summary.
IMHO the most important part of Change's message is a package name where
the ld.gold executable will be moved to. The overlong Change page
mentions it only once and that's in the middle of the How To Test
section.
Thank you.
