LLD is included in the upcoming LLVM 4.0 release
Posting this news article is my way to get the attention of Debian, Arch, Gentoo, Homebrew, NixOS, and other package maintainers. As an upstream compiler developer [1], I want to depend on LLD instead of the system linker, and the sooner LLD becomes ubiquitous in the various package managers, the sooner I can depend on it. (Of course I could ask my users to compile it from source, but that increases overhead of people getting started.)<p>Further evidence that it is time for LLD to be distributed along with LLVM: <a href="http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-February/110302.html" rel="nofollow">http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-February/11030...</a><p>[1]: <a href="http://ziglang.org/" rel="nofollow">http://ziglang.org/</a>
