It breaks ALL packages using gold to link, and the "fix" is to explicitly 
add a macro to generate gold-compatible output or to stop using gold. Also 
affects qt5-qtwebengine:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2043178#c10

Once again a "feature" that provides no value whatsoever, bloats the 
distribution's size (it even uses JSON instead of a size-optimized binary 
format! Parsing the JSON is at least as hard as a binary format would be, it 
will likely lead to any consumer having to drag in a JSON library, leading 
to more bloat), and breaks the build of dozens of packages.

IMHO, it is time to enact the contingency plan:
