# FindGnuLd module for locating GNU ld (linker from binutils).
#
# The module defines the following variables:
#
# 'GNULD_LINKER'
# Path to GNU ld linker
# Set to 'GNULD_LINKER-NOTFOUND' if ld was not found.
#
# 'GnuLd_FOUND', 'GNULD_FOUND'
# True if GNU ld was found.
#
# 'GNULD_VERSION_STRING'
# The version of GNU ld.
#
# Note that this will use CROSS_COMPILE, if defined,
# as a prefix to the linker executable.
if(DEFINED TOOLCHAIN_HOME)
# Search for linker under TOOLCHAIN_HOME if it is defined
# to limit which linker to use, or else we would be using
# host tools.
