Hi,

The gold linker has these options to specify how threads would be used 
by the linker. I am not sure what these options are for but I think its 
for debugging the linker, maybe.

Are we planning to support these options ?

<snip from manpage>
        --threads
               Run the linker multi-threaded

        --no-threads
               Do not run the linker multi-threaded

        --thread-count COUNT
               Number of threads to use

        --thread-count-initial COUNT
               Number of threads to use in initial pass

        --thread-count-middle COUNT Number of threads to use in middle pass

        --thread-count-final COUNT
               Number of threads to use in final pass
