If the need is well justified, maybe there is great chance to ask adding #[no_mangle] and extern C support? Since release is very fresh. If that is causing the problem. Or is some dependency the issue?

The need here is bootstrapping. If mold is written in Rust you cannot even compile it.

  • Even Rust is written with Rust. But yeah, if you want to bootstrap absolutely from the beginning, I see the issue.

    • We regularly and redundantly full source bootstrap our entire tree from 186 bytes of machine code due to a supply chain security policy that forbids trusting any single human or computer.
