            Use LLD on RHEL 8 as well

Currently we use LLD everywhere except RHEL 8. Originally we started
using LLD because it was necessary for PGO, and we don't use PGO on
RHEL 8.

I'm proposing to enable use of LLD everywhere. In particular, this
avoids a linker error on rhel-8-s390x:

> (.text._ZNSt23_Sp_counted_ptr_inplaceINSt10filesystem7__cxx1116filesystem_error5_ImplESaIS3_ELN9__gnu_cxx12_Lock_policyE2EE14_M_get_deleterERKSt9type_info[_ZNSt23_Sp_counted_ptr_inplaceINSt10filesystem7__cxx1116filesystem_error5_ImplESaIS3_ELN9__gnu_cxx12_Lock_policyE2EE14_M_get_deleterERKSt9type_info]+0x18): misaligned symbol `_ZTSSt19_Sp_make_shared_tag' (0xbc735) for relocation R_390_PC32DBL

This is due to a bug in the binutils version used by gcc-toolset-15.
The issue does not occur when using LLD.
