mold: A Modern Linker
https://github.com/rui314/mold
mold is a faster drop-in replacement for existing Unix linkers.
It is several times faster than LLVM lld linker, the second-fastest
open-source linker which I originally created a few years ago.
mold is created for increasing developer productivity by reducing
build time especially in rapid debug-edit-rebuild cycles.
Here is a performance comparison of GNU gold, LLVM lld, and mold for
linking final debuginfo-enabled executables of major large programs
on a simulated 8-core 16-threads machine.

- Update to version 2.34.0
* [ARM32] mold now deduplicates exception handling records in a .ARM.exidx section
to reduce the size of the table. (742ea87)
* [LoongArch] TLSDESC relocations are now supported. (dbaa6d7)
* --build-id=fast is now supported for compatibility with LLVM lld. mold handles
it as a synonym for --build-id=sha256. (afc52ee)
* Previously, if the same symbol was provided both by a static archive and dynamic
library, and if the symbol's visibility was hidden, mold sometimes failed to
link it and handled the symbol as if it were undefined. Now, mold can correctly
link such programs. (1efbe3f)
* Under rare circumstances, mold could create corrupted binaries if they were
linked with --retain-symbols-file. This bug has been fixed. (0ee12e4)
* [LoongArch] R_LARCH_CALL36 relocation with a large offset is now correctly
written. (1c32102)
* [FreeBSD] If all thread-local variables in a program have no initial values,
mold-produced executables could crash or misbehave on FreeBSD. This bug has been
fixed. (f6822fb)
* DEC Alpha support has been removed due to lack of demand. In fact, mold's Alpha
support has never been tested for real-world programs and was likely unable to
link them in the first place. This should not affect anyone because the last
Alpha processor was released more than 20 years ago. (3711ddb)
