You should be using LLD wherever possible. It's the fastest of the stable linkers - Gold isn't too bad compared to ld but lld is really speedy. 2. We tried mold at symmetry and it blew up, however it's been a little while since then so maybe it's time to try again.

It could also be a blocker for some due to lack of LTO support. - gold for GCC+LTO bytecode - lld for pretty much anything else For now LLD only supports Itanium or plain C mangled names, but I'm going to soon add a patch to LLD to make it use of the D demangler and print pritty names for D symbols :) --=20 Sincerely, Lu=C3=ADs Ferreira lsferreira.net
