Re: parallelizing ghc

I've been toying with building my own ld replacement.  I don't know anything about linkers, but I'd say at least even odds that I can do better than this.

I'm guessing linkers are hard, but gold proves that if you keep the scope small and use modern techniques you can get really good improvements over gnu ld. I think the gold author had quite a bit of linker experience though. I'd think apple would care about linker performance... I'm even a little surprised Xcode doesn't have something better than a lightly hacked gnu ld.
