Till Toenshoff edited comment on MESOS-4271 at 1/4/16 11:21 AM: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks a bunch for measuring [~bbannier]. Given that this introduces another, new tool in our build-chain (even though there is a fallback to libtool), I guess we should make sure others have a chance to comment here as well - either with their results or other discussion points. was (Author: tillt): Thanks a bunch for measuring @bbannier.

For some > versions of {{libtool}} its invocation can add considerably to the overall > build time. > Dolt provides a much more condensed implementation of {{libtool}}'s > functionality for modern platforms (<100 locs vs ~10 klocs), so that it can > run much faster. We should investigate whether activating dolt makes sense. > I tested dolt under OS X 10.10.5.
