Description

@theuserbl

The actual performance comparision compares GNU ld 2.42 with GNU gold 2.38 with LLVM lld 19.0.0 with mold 2.4.0

I think, they are currently a little bit outdated.
mold 2.4.0 was published November, 30th 2023.
The benchmark comparison was published February 24th, 2024.

The actual versions are
GNU ld 2.46.0 from February 28th, 2026
GNU gold 2.46.0
LLVM lld 22.1.3 from April, 8th 2026
mold 2.41.0 from April 13th, 2026
wild 0.9.0 May 24th, 2026

And yes, wild have to be added.

mold 2.41.0 is also faster then 2.4.0. So why let the comparison with 2.4.0?
