Cannot make sense of LLD linker error with ldc 1.11.0

[Per Nordlöw]

Recently the benchmark

https://github.com/nordlow/phobos-next/tree/master/benchmarks/containers/dub.sdl

run as

     dub run --compiler=ldc2 --build=release

has started to fail as

Performing "release" build using ldc2 for x86_64.

on latest stable ldc 1.11.0 on Ubuntu 18.04 x64.

Anybody got a clue what's wrong?

Is there a way to make use of the gold linker instead?
