$ nm -D hello.gold

         w _ITM_registerTMCloneTable
         w _Jv_RegisterClasses

         w __deregister_frame_info
         U __libc_start_main
         w __register_frame_info

08049690 A _end
         U printf

$ nm -D hello.bfd

         U __libc_start_main

         U printf

i'm not sure where gold expects __register_frame_info to be defined..

the call chain is

__dls3 -> do_init_fini -> _init -> frame_dummy -> __register_frame_info@plt -> 0

objdump:
