  $ cat test_tsan_gcc.cc 
  int main() { return 0; }

  $ g++ -fsanitize=thread test_tsan_gcc.cc 
  /usr/bin/ld: --push-state: unknown option
  /usr/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

  $ g++ -fsanitize=address test_tsan_gcc.cc 
  /usr/bin/ld: --push-state: unknown option
  /usr/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

  Works fine:
  $ g++ -fsanitize=address -fuse-ld=gold test_tsan_gcc.cc
  $ g++ -fsanitize=thread -fuse-ld=gold test_tsan_gcc.cc

  The same problem as here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37603238/fsanitize-not-using-gold-linker-in-gcc-6-1
  They say it's fixed in 16.04, but it doesn't fixed in 16.10
