Thanks Dmitri,
I’ve been reading cmake files all day, and noticing that some references to the
gold linker (specifically this one in cmake/modules/AddSwift):
1058 # Handle gold linker flags for shared libraries.
1059 if(SWIFT_ENABLE_GOLD_LINKER AND SWIFTLIB_SINGLE_SHARED)
1060 if("${SWIFTLIB_SINGLE_SDK}" STREQUAL "LINUX")
1061 # Extend the link_flags for the gold linker so long as this
1062 # isn't the standard library. The standard library uses a
1063 # linker script that isn't supported by the gold linker.
1064 if(NOT SWIFTLIB_SINGLE_IS_STDLIB)
1065 list(APPEND link_flags "-fuse-ld=gold")
1066 endif()
1067 endif()
1068 endif()
imply that there are/may be issues with the gold linker. But, if you’re not
using it… :)
Anyway, I’ll keep digging.
