The project README says Ueyama had earlier developed LLVM lld and presents mold as several times faster than lld on large debuginfo-enabled binaries, targeting shorter debug-edit-rebuild cycles for C, C++, Rust, and other compiled-language projects. ### Projektgeschichte The 1.0 release was published as the first stable, production-ready release for Linux-based systems and described mold as a faster replacement for the default GNU linker for many user-land programs. That release also framed Ueyama's linker background as part of the project's credibility. Toolchain adoption followed quickly: GCC 12 gained -fuse-ld=mold support, putting mold alongside BFD, gold, and lld as an explicit compiler-driver linker choice. ### Adoptionsgeschichte mold's technical niche is compatibility plus parallel performance. It competes directly with GNU ld, GNU gold, and LLVM lld, with FOSDEM material describing it as a fast portable ELF linker and arguing that it gained importance for GNU toolchain users because it supports GCC features that matter for large projects. The README documents support across many architectures and explains usage as either invoking mold directly or selecting it through compiler flags. ### Wie es verwendet wird The 2.0.0 release changed the license from AGPL to MIT after the AGPL/commercial dual-licensing approach failed to meet the project's goals. That license change expanded mold's packaging and adoption path, making it easier for distributions, build systems, and commercial users to choose it without copyleft-linking concerns. ### Quellen - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Debian apt - mold - 2.37.1+dfsg-1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: mold from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Drop-in linker | https://github.com/rui314/mold - Nix - mold: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: mold from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/master/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix - Ubuntu apt - mold - 2.30.0+dfsg-1build1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: mold from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | Drop-in linker | https://github.com/rui314/mold - apk - mold - 2.39.1-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: mold from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | fast modern linker | https://github.com/rui314/mold - apk - mold-doc - 2.39.1-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: mold-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | fast modern linker (documentation) | https://github.com/rui314/mold - dnf - mold - 2.41.0-3.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: mold from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/07190dc5ae9f35ae73866675fed6d95fe6e8d9fe22c9d7cdf85862cb2ed24a4c-primary.xml.zst | A Modern Linker | https://github.com/rui314/mold - pacman - mold - 2.41.0-1: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: mold from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | A Modern Linker | https://github.com/rui314/mold - zypper - mold - 2.41.0-1.4: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: mold from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/50b07339cb64c8ed4091bdbabddadc1ff5737b090e478818a195b40d8a3292861a879139b4a3987c31109699fde9fbf4a716367ddf4eef77da75f96e3193d6ed-primary.xml.zst | A Modern Linker (mold) | https://github.com/rui314/mold - MacPorts - mold: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: devel/mold/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Scoop - main/mold: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/mold.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Main/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
