My experience is that the standard GNU binutils ld is mighty slow on Windows. That might be the case for all platforms other than ELF ones, but I don't have any non-Windows non-ELF to test on. It has a quadratic symbol search time, so it's slow even when cross-compiling and file system access is fast. On Windows, filesystem access is not fast. An LLVM lld build might be faster. This need not be a Clang build, as GCC accepts -fuse-ld=lld. I've just tested: $ gcc -fuse-ld=lld -xc /dev/null ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: main >>> referenced by start.S:103 (../sysdeps/x86_64/start.S:103) >>> /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-generic-linux/12/../../../../lib64/ Scrt1.o:(_start) collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Cloud Software Architect - Intel DCAI Cloud Engineering
