I looked at this before, is it ready for production? I thought not based on the readme, so I'm still using mold.

For those on macOS, Apple released a new linker about a year or two ago (which is why the mold author stopped working on their macOS version), and if you're using it with Rust, put this in your config.toml:

    [target.aarch64-apple-darwin]
    rustflags = [ 
        "-C",
        "link-arg=-fuse-ld=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ld",
        "-C",
        "link-arg=-ld_new",
    ]

Isn't the new linked just the default these days? I'm not sure adding that has any effect.

Can you confirm that's still the right location for Sequioa?

I have the command line tools installed and I only have /usr/bin/ld and /usr/bin/ld-classic

  • Then it'd be the /usr/bin/ld as I believe my solution was for before they moved the linker it seems.

  • /usr/bin/ld will correctly invoke the right linker, it's a stub to look at your developer dir and reexec.
