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 2.30.0
* We have increased the version number from 2.4.1 to 2.30.0, even though this
release contains only minor bug fixes. This change was made to prevent GNU
libtool from mistaking mold 2.4.1 for GNU ld 2.4.1, which led it to incorrectly
conclude that our linker was an outdated version of the GNU linker. Bumping up
the version number to align with GNU ld may not be the most elegant solution,
but it is a practical approach to resolve the compatibility issue with GNU
libtool. (c7f6a91)
* Previously, mold may have inserted an unnecessary gap before the .bss section in
an output file, thereby creating an extra segment for it. While not technically
incorrect, it was certainly unnecessary. mold 2.30.0 eliminates this unnecessary
on-disk gap for .bss. (c395da1)
* Previously, under rare circumstances, mold might fail with the "ConcurrentMap is
full" error message if --gdb-index was used. This bug has been resolved.
(c60d1d0)
* Previously, mold might generate an excessive number of "ignoring .llvm_addrsig
section without sh_link" warnings. These warnings are now suppressed. (51f871f)
* Sections with unknown section types are now reported as errors. (d21207c)
* [PPC32] A crash bug related to --gc-sections has been fixed. (8eae0a3)
