(In reply to Antoine Brodin from comment #3)
I'll test this patch later and confirm whether it's ok.

Regarding why powerpc64 needs special treatment:
when it switches to clang, ld.bfd will still be installed. The reason is th=
at
lld currently doesn't support linking powerpc (32-bit) binaries. We will use
lld for 64-bit binaries, however.

So even after the switch /usr/bin/ld.bfd will still be installed (until lld=
 is
able to link powerpc binaries).
