binutils/binutils: simplify gold dependencies

In preparation of adding a new kernel-type, Yann D. came up
with a change in semantic on binutils/gold availability.

So far, it was architectures' responsibility to declare that
they did support binutils/gold or not. It makes much more sense
that binutils/gold declares its own availability depending on
the current architecture; after all, architectures have no way
to know wether gold supports them, while gold does know it.

reporter_comment="This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g., MPC8548,

MPC8572). It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent gcc (4.6.0,
yann@2173
     5
for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate dual-precision

     6
floating point instructions by default.

Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to make

     9
sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE ABI/instructions

    10
from getting into the kernel (which is currently unsupported). At this time,
yann@2173
    11
the kernel build system properly passes those two options, but older kernels
yann@2173
    12
were only passing -mno-spe by default."
