The new Darwin backend for LLD is now able to link reasonably large real-world programs on x86_64. For instance, we have achieved self-hosting for the X86_64 target, where all LLD tests pass when building lld with itself on macOS. As such, we would like to make it the default back-end. The new port is now named `ld64.lld`, and the old port remains accessible as `ld64.lld.darwinold` This [annoucement email][1] has some context. (But note that, unlike what the email says, we are no longer doing this as part of the LLVM 12 branch cut -- instead we will go into LLVM 13.) Numerous mechanical test changes were required to make this change; in the interest of creating something that's reviewable on Phabricator, I've split out the boring changes into a separate diff (D95905). I plan to merge its contents with those in this diff before landing. (@gkm made the original draft of this diff, and he has agreed to let me take over.)

LLVM Linker (lld)
This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for the LLVM Linker, a modular cross platform linker which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project.
lld is open source software. You may freely distribute it under the terms of the license agreement found in LICENSE.txt.
Benchmarking
In order to make sure various developers can evaluate patches over the same tests, we create a collection of self contained programs.
It is hosted at https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/linker-tests/lld-speed-test.tar.xz
