problem about "build binutils"

[栗子]

Hi, may I ask a question?

why we apply a patch to binutils ? What's for?

set(BINUTILS_PATCH 
            git checkout gold/gold-threads.cc && 
            git apply ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake/patches/binutils/gold.patch)

thanks~

That's required when building the tool chain with Clang.
