The current mold / lld linkers can be significantly faster than bfd. If
the developer does not need linker scripts or other BFD-specific
functionality, they can use these linkers for the typical development
process. It would be helpful to save a few milliseconds if lld was also
usable with mingw. (Mold is not available for this purpose under an
open-source license.)
There is an upstream project https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw
which mentions some limitations.
Is anyone able to tell if it is worth experimenting with it or possibly
adding it to Fedora?
