These do not look like gold error messages.

These do look like gold error messages. I think you have a gnu ld at
/tmp/gold-dev/bin/ld, and gold is at /tmp/gold-dev/bin/ld.gold.

If you can run readelf -SW on your file, and extract lines that match
"66722" and "STRTAB", I think we might be able to prove that this file
exhibits the large section table bug.
