To explain this a bit more: FreeBSD 9.x and later have binutils 2.17.50,
FreeBSD 8.x has binutils 2.15.  The kernels for 9.x and later use a bit
of linker script syntax that is not understood by the older ld in 8.x,
so you cannot link the 9.x kernel with /usr/bin/ld on 8.x.

Therefore, you have to build the newer linker as part of buildworld, or
by using the kernel-toolchain target.
