DescriptionIn a project, I set CMAKE_LINKER to /usr/bin/ld.gold. Yet, when I build my project, the link step uses /usr/bin/c++ to link the project.

 This is behaving as intended. The CMAKE_LINKER variable is an implementation detail and is not documented publicly.

We always drive linking through the compiler front-end so that it can add whatever runtime libraries the language needs. If you want to change what linker the compiler invokes underneath then you need to pass an appropriate flag to that compiler.

I haven't tested this but you could try editing your CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS to add "-fuse-ld=gold".
