The Gold Linker
After the Update to Fedora 20 I forgot to update the linker to Gold. Today I released that linking Samba is horribly slow. Time to change the linker to Gold again: Fedora: ll /etc/alternatives/ld /usr/sbin/alternatives –set ld /usr/bin/ld.gold openSUSE: ll /etc/alternatives/ld /usr/sbin/update-alternatives –set ld /usr/bin/ld.gold To still build a special project with ld.bfd use: LDFLAGS=”-fuse-ld=bfd”
