The biggest reason for forcing bfd was the use of linker scrips. Since we don't rely on those anymore we can lift the requirement. The biggest issue is gold as it does not understand -static-pie. Given that it's pretty much on life support it's safe to just declare it not supported anymore. Don't link addons with libefi as clang/lld is sometimes very eager to include memset etc., causing needless binary bloat and link errors with LTO. Fixes: #29165
