Since commit 8564ed2b3888 ("Kbuild, lto: Add a gcc-ld script to let run gcc
as ld") in 2014, there was not specific work on this the gcc-ld script
other than treewide clean-ups.
There are no users within the kernel tree, and probably no out-of-tree
users either, and there is no dedicated maintainer in MAINTAINERS.
There are out-of-tree users.
Delete this obsolete gcc-ld script.

No callers in-tree; happy to bring it back though should there later
be. Thanks for the patch.
I agree to have this downstream-only for the time being. We have updates
for it queued, so we'd only start tracking the full content now...
BTW the script is not nice at all. How do the clang people cope with the
issue? (Running gcc-ld instead of ld with proper arguments when linking
using (full) LTO. For example "-z now" -> "-Wl,-z,now".)

If there are no objections, I would like to get this patch included
through the kbuild tree.
Masahiro-san, please pick this patch.
