I only became aware today about https://lld.llvm.org, llvm's

it as an alternative to optlink? Thanks! -- Andrei
I tried lld on Linux for D binaries and some of them crash. That
might not mean anything on Windows, but given that I've run into
2 dmd bugs so far in which picking one of ld.bfd or ld.gold
produced crashing binaries, I'd be wary of using lld on Windows
until it's thoroughly tested on dozens of executables.
