build system 🏗️ low effort There is not much implementation work to be done. The task is very easy or tiny. low impact Changes are not very noticeable or potential benefits are limited. nice to have We don’t see a good reason not to have it but won’t go out of our way to implement it.

@cameel Maybe an interesting side note. The resulting installation shrunk from 14.92 MiB to 14.33 MiB when switching from ld.gold to ld. Installation via https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/solidity. Considering the installation contains much documentation which was not affected by a change of the linker, the binaries must be the reason for all the size difference.

Gesamtgröße der installierten Pakete:  14,33 MiB
Größendifferenz der Aktualisierung:    -0,59 MiB
