Patch to install GNU ld also as /usr/bin/ld.bfd

To make -fuse-ld=bfd work and to facilitate other linker experiments I want to install the base system linker also as /usr/bin/ld.bfd. I'm requesting an exp-run in case some port currently uses GNU ld from ports but ends up using the base system ld.bfd instead with my change.
