I am getting a bot failure from the thin archive part of this test:

/usr/bin/ld.gold: internal error in add_writer, at

This appears to be an issue with an older version of gold. The test case
passes for me locally when I use the gold v1.12 I was testing with, but
when I tried the gold installed on my system which is v1.11 I get the
same error.
Remove the thin archive version of the test, since there isn't a way to
predicate it on gold version.

Summary:
In the distributed backend case, the ThinLink step and the final native
object link are separate processes. This can be problematic when archive
libraries are involved in the link (e.g. via --start-lib/--end-lib
pairs). The linker only includes objects from libraries when
there is a strong reference to them, and depending on the intervening
ThinLTO backend processes' importing/inlining, the strong references
may appear different in the two link steps. See D22356 and D22467
for two scenarios where this causes issues.
To ensure that the final link includes the same objects, this patch
adds support for an "=filename" form of the thinlto-index-only plugin
option, in which case objects gold included in the link are emitted to
the given filename. This should be used as input to the final link (e.g.
via the @filename option to gold), instead of listing all the objects
within --start-lib/--end-lib pairs again.
Note that the support for the gold callback that identifies included
objects was added in gold version 1.12.
