You could also have a look at the new 'Gold' linker that's part of
binutils. Not sure if this has been tested before with ghc but its
meant to have far greater performance (in time is what I've heard, not
sure about memory) then 'ld' and be a drop in replacement.

Hi. This is not strictly a GHC question. I observed that "ld" when linking GHC-compiled programs eats 0.5 GB of resident memory. ~3 times more than GHC or Haddock. So if there is not enough free memory "ld" uses virtual memory and works very slowly (practically does not use CPU). I'd like to know, is anyone interested in researching and improving memory usage? Is it "ld" or GHC problem? I found a similar discussion here http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/66189 but it was too broad and went nowhere.
