- LLD is a drop-in replacement for the GNU linkers. That accepts the

of February 2017, LLD is able to link the entire FreeBSD/amd64 base

system including the kernel. With a few work-in-progress patches it
|

can link approximately 95% of the ports collection on AMD64. For the

machine, you can expect that LLD runs more than twice as fast as GNU
