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 1.11.0
* IBM Power10 has been supported. Previously, mold created broken executables for
that target. (5065547)
* --hash-style=none has been added to cancel --hash-style=sysv, --hash-style=gnu
or --hash-style=both. (ec75633)
* [ARM32] R_ARM_PLT32 relocation type has been supported. (e505900)
* [RISC-V] R_RISCV_PLT32 relocation type has been supported. (51845ac)
* Previous versions of mold failed to link some programs in rare corner cases if
Link-Time Optimization (LTO) is enabled. These bugs have been fixed. (e1a7590,
62d6537)
* mold used to ignore dependencies between DSOs. Since this version, if a required
DSO depends on other as-needed DSO, mold keeps the latter DSO as a required one.
This improves compatibility with GNU linkers. (1adde7a)
* [x86-64] mold can now link object files generated by old buggy versions of GCC.
(d2970e0)
* [x86-64] Previously, a program with a very large .bss section may fail to link
due to R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX relocation overflow (#975). This bug has been
fixed. (627bf7c)
