In Ubuntu 9.10, if the package binutils-gold is installed, building xbmc fails in the linking process.

Code:

#ld -v
GNU gold (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu 2.20) 1.9
#sudo apt-get remove binutils-gold
#ld -v
GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.20

Maybe a check for this should be added to the configure script or a note be written in the documentation.
