Re: [Nix-dev] gold linker in shell.nix

2015-05-12 Thread Nicolas Pierron
Hi Nikita

I have not looked precisely on using the gold linker yet, but I guess
this might be similar to what I have done with overriding the default
compiler in stdenv [1].  You might want to have a look around the
stdenvAdapters.

 So, are you suggesting to just enable it system-wide?  How can I do
 that?

I'm trying to say that any package can see both standard ld and ld.gold,
so everyone can choose. I think some packages already do use it - they
check if it's available and prefer ld.gold over ld.

Forcing ld.gold instead of ld system-wide is probably not a good idea.
I've read it's unable to link some kernel and grub stuff, and some
changes in behavior could cause lots of breakages by itself in many
packages.
