This totally slipped my radar until now. Ian Lance Taylor, an employee from Google, wrote a new ELF linker that is meant to replace ld as Linux's default linker from scratch. The new linker is called "gold" and is approximately "five times faster linking large C++ applications", according to Ian's blog-post.
It has been released to the public open-source crowd as of March 21st with this announcement.
gold is written in C++ and consists of as little as 50,000 lines of code.
Nice!
