The Wild linker is a very speedy linker written in the Rust programming language that has become quite competitive with the likes of Mold. A patch sent out this weekend adds Wild support for use with the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).

The patch adds support for GCC for using the Wild linker with the compiler’s “–with-ld” option for specifying the linker. This patch for Wild has been successfully tested with the “vast majority” of tests passing.
