It seems to date from the original gold import in 2011, so it's
probably just from being careful.

Disabling the check is worth a try, though I think even the binutils
Windows linkers use something other than Linux's ELF. Theoretically,
it has a reasonable chance of working anyway, but you never know
whether we've smuggled something platform-specific in there.

Remember to also specify LLVM_BINUTILS_INCDIR! Took me ages to work
out why gold suddenly stopped being built last time.

Cheers.

Tim.
