Can mold be used as the OpenBSD system linker?
Recently, I taught the mold linker how to find shared libraries on OpenBSD. This was the last puzzle piece needed to get mold working on OpenBSD. Testing on some simple applications, like oksh, produced working executables.
I would like to go a bit further and push mold to its limits. I want to know what would happen if mold was the only linker on our system.
