            Bug ID: 236362
           Summary: [Flatpak SDK] Add mold linker
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Local Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: aperez at igalia.com

I have it working locally and intend to do some benchmarks to see how
much faster we can get debug (developer) builds by switching to ld.lld
or ld.mold

For those who may not yet know about it, you can learn about Mold here:

  https://github.com/rui314/mold

While it is still missing a few features, the only important issue is
that Mold does *not* support LTO at the moment:

  https://github.com/rui314/mold/issues/181

Other than this, Mold is perfectly usable today for complex projects
like WebKit, and given that developers typically do not do LTO builds
when working on the codebase, it may already be interesting to have it
in the SDK for those.
