Hello David,

Thanks for pointing that out.
This is because llvm-toolchain-3.3_3.3-8 build dependencies are wrong :
adding -fuse-ld option in the debian/rules was necessary due to the
fusion of binutils-gold into binutils in the latest sid version.
To select the gold linker with this new version of ld you have to use
the -fuse-ld option.

I will commit the new dependency soon, removing this inconsistency :
binutils >= 2.23.52.20130727-1

Your backport is working removing the -fuse-ld option because you must
have the binutils-gold (<2.23.52.20130727-1) package installed (now
merged into binutils).
