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 2.32.0 * Previously, shared libraries specified with --as-needed were not considered as "needed" if they were referenced only by weak undefined symbols. Such weak symbols were converted to absolute symbols at address zero at link-time. Although this behavior was not technically wrong, it caused a significant issue in a rare occasion (#1286). Now, weak undefined symbols retain --as-needed shared libraries. (06b5926) * [RISC-V] RISC-V object files contain ISA strings in the .riscv.attributes section. Previously, we had reported valid ISA strings containing digits as errors. The issue has now been resolved. (841a186) * [RISC-V] We no longer write dynamic relocation addends to relocated places because it caused static position-independent executables to crash on process startup in some environments. In other words, --no-apply-dynamic-relocs is enabled by default. * LTO now works on MinGW. (50bf031)
