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 2.0.0
* License changed to MIT.
* Previously, mold could not produce an object file with more than 65520 sections
using the --relocatable option. Now the bug has been fixed. (2e8bd0b)
* mold now interprets -undefined as a synonym for --undefined instead of -u
ndefined. This seems inconsistent, as -ufoo is generally treated as -u foo
(which is an alias for --undefined foo), but this is the behavior of the GNU
linkers and LLVM lld, so we prioritize compatibility over consistency.
* -nopie is now handled as a synonym for --no-pie.
* [RISC-V] R_RISCV_SET_ULEB128 and R_RISCV_SUB_ULEB128 relocation types are now
supported (4bffe26, 1ac5fe7)
* [PPC64] R_PPC64_REL32 relocation type is now supported. (ebd780e)
