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 2.3.3
* --dynamic-list has different semantics for executables and DSOs. Previously,
mold implemented only the semantics for executables, causing issues with
libraries such as musl that used this option. mold now handles the option for
DSOs correctly. (da3f5dd)
* Old object files often contain .ctors and .dtors sections, which hold function
pointers for initializing and finalizing processes, respectively. Their roles
have been superseded by .init_array and .fini_array on most targets. mold worked
functioned correctly as long as input object files consistently use the old or
the new sections. However, mixing object files that contain both types of
initializers/finalizers resulted in some functions not being executed. This
issue has been fixed. (3f88964)
* --defsym can cause the linker to crash if a given symbol is not defined. The
crash bug has been fixed. (ff3d54d)
* [POWER10] On rare occasions, pointers statically initialized to functions could
be left as null pointers. This bug has been fixed. (31c3b53)
- Remove upstreamed patch power10-fix.patch.
- Add power10 fix power10-fix.patch for #1142.
