I asked about progress recently on ELFToolchain ld, but it currently only handles simple programs: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29593381

LLVM ld is "in its very early stages of development." (http://lld.llvm.org)

gold is GPLv3.

MCLinker seems to me like the most promising project at the moment. But in the end, working code is what counts :-)
