GNU gold linker is/was a rewrite in C++ independent from BFD. It seems
to me more or less already orphaned and, as the message says, it does
not support all the archs the BFD version supports.

And as I wrote, the .strtab warning does not come from ld.bfd (aka
ld(1)) but from gdb(1) when trying to get some info about the firefox52
coredump.
