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 1.7.0
* [m68k] mold now supports the Motorola 68000 series microprocessors. Yes, it's
the processor in the original Mac or Sun workstations in the 80s. This work is
sponsored by m68k hobbyist communities.
* We fixed a few issues for Facebook/Meta's BOLT optimizer (#789). Starting from
the next LLVM release (we need llvm/llvm-project@20204db), BOLT should work on
mold-generated executables out of the box.
* We fixed a long-standing symbol resolution issue involving GNU UNIQUE symbols
which caused a link failure for a few programs. (730e970)
* Previously, if a version script contains a "C++" directive, and a symbol matches
a non-C++ version pattern and a C++ version pattern, a wrong version could be
assigned to the symbol. This has been fixed so that the mold's behavior matches
with GNU ld. (9875150)
