Switching linker

Hello.

I'm on a team that is developing for Android and WatchOS. We want to switch our toolchain's linker from ld.gold to lld. We are worried because the `--fix-cortex-a8` flag fails for LLD.

I understand that the Cortex-A8 errata refers to an interface between the CPU and the CoreSight debugger. I have never used this. If I am not debugging, should this cause any problems?

Will the errata cause runtime errors for watches with the Cortex-A8 processor? I am having a hard time finding references to the bug. The Android NDK github issue says it's not a big deal.
