This interesting article on work being done by an OpenOffice
developer to speed up the Linux linker/loader was recently sent
to me:

Clearly, Solaris ld already has the -Bdirect they added to
GNU ld, but would any of their other optimization ideas be
useful for Solaris to adopt? (If they can take -Bdirect
from us, why not take good ideas from them if they would
work for us?)
