The dev who worked on the lld and mold linkers turned the dial to 11... LLD (part of LLVM): https://llvm.org/devmtg/2017-10/slides/Ueyama-lld.pdf https://llvm.org/devmtg/2017-10/slides/Ueyama-lld.pdf MOLD linker: https://github.com/rui314/mold/blob/main/docs/design.md https://github.com/rui314/mold/blob/main/docs/design.md Apple released a new linker that's in the same ballpark as mold - see following link for previous discussion - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36218330 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36218330
