History
-------
Here is a brief project history of the ELF and COFF ports.
- May 2015: We decided to rewrite the COFF linker and did that.
Noticed that the new linker is much faster than the MSVC linker.
- July 2015: The new ELF port was developed based on the COFF linker
architecture.
- September 2015: The first patches to support MIPS and AArch64 landed.
- October 2015: Succeeded to self-host the ELF port. We have noticed
that the linker was faster than the GNU linkers, but we weren't sure
at the time if we would be able to keep the gap as we would add more
features to the linker.
- July 2016: Started working on improving the linker script support.
- December 2016: Succeeded to build the entire FreeBSD base system
including the kernel. We had widen the performance gap against the
GNU linkers.
