This reverts commit d79a27195a33f4b5e591de5536799ad874ea6cf5. According to the commit description, this ld-option test was added for the gold linker at that time. Commit 75959d44f9dc ("kbuild: Fail if gold linker is detected") gave up the gold linker support after all. I tested the BFD linker from binutils 2.23 and LLD from LLVM 11.0.0. Both of them support the -X option.
