I posted https://reviews.freebsd.org/D18340 to stop installing ld.bfd
when LLD_IS_LD is enabled. This will have the effect of removing
ld.bfd on amd64 (where ifuncs are in use) as well as other
architectures which do not yet use ifuncs, but this seems like a
reasonable step in the process of removing these obsolete tools.
