LLD is a linker from the LLVM project that is a drop-in replacement for system linkers and runs much faster than them. It also provides features that are useful for toolchain developers.
Current packaging is in the playground repository, on the lld branch. https://cygwin.com/cgit/cygwin-packages/playground/tree/?h=lld&id=d7936632fa8e96bc43a15d4c6598595767e33bb3 This depends on the updated llvm package, so can't really be built without that whole stack. It does still need work to be usable for a Cygwin target, but works well for cross-compilation to mingw at least, and probably other targets as well. Current test results: Total Discovered Tests: 1066 Unsupported: 10 (0.94%) Passed : 1056 (99.06%)
