Ian Taylor's "gold" linker currently only supports ELF/x86 and ELF/x86_64. Adding back ends for more ISAs should not be difficult, but supporting object file formats other than ELF would be much harder; to quote Ian's announcement, "There is no expectation that gold will ever support anything other than ELF targets."
