[ITK] [ITK-users] Problem with configure with 4.8.1 and gcc 5

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Yi and Alfonso,

Thanks for discussing the issue.

This error is due to faulty detection of the gold linker.  Please
review this patch, which addresses the issue:

  http://review.source.kitware.com/#/c/20384/

This will fix the detection of the gold linker, and avoid trying to
use it.  As a workaround, you can also install the package that
provides the gold linker.  For example, on Opensuse Tumbleweed (h/t
Ricardo Ortiz)

  zypper install binutils-gold

The gold linker results in faster build times.

Regarding the ITK 4.8 archive sizes, the smaller library source code
is intentional; the majority of the content was test data, which was
moved to a separate archive, InsightData-4.8.0.

Thanks,
Matt
