- Here is a brief project history of the ELF and COFF ports.
132
-
133
- - May 2015: We decided to rewrite the COFF linker and did that.
134
- Noticed that the new linker is much faster than the MSVC linker.
135
-
136
- - July 2015: The new ELF port was developed based on the COFF linker
137
- architecture.
138
-
139
- - September 2015: The first patches to support MIPS and AArch64 landed.
140
-
141
- - October 2015: Succeeded to self-host the ELF port. We have noticed
142
- that the linker was faster than the GNU linkers, but we weren't sure
143
- at the time if we would be able to keep the gap as we would add more
144
- features to the linker.
145
-
146
- - July 2016: Started working on improving the linker script support.
147
-
148
- - December 2016: Succeeded to build the entire FreeBSD base system
149
- including the kernel. We had widen the performance gap against the
150
- GNU linkers.
