Not that I'm aware of. mclinker is work in progress and is not yet able =
to link the kernel. gold should work, but I'm not aware that LTO linking =
has been tested to work.

Apart from this, we need a general solution to having multiple linkers =
installed and choosing which one to use in general, during buildworld, =
for ports etc.
