What's new in ELF Support? ========================== LLD 3.9 is a major milestone for us. It is the first release that can link real-world large userland programs, including LLVM/Clang/LLD themselves. In fact, for example, it can now be used to produce most userland programs distributed as part of FreeBSD.

Building LLVM Toolchain with LLD -------------------------------- A new CMake variable, ``LLVM_ENABLE_LLD``, has been added to use LLD to build the LLVM toolchain. If the varaible is true, ``-fuse-ld=lld`` option will be added to linker flags so that ``ld.lld`` is used instead of default ``ld``. Because ``-fuse-ld=lld`` is a new compiler driver option, you need Clang 3.8 or newer to use the feature. Loading
