zld VS cachepot

Well sold has a few extra features, namely macOS support, so I assume if you're a developer on a MacBook, and you want to link faster, you'd need to use sold. Although to be honest, I didn't see much difference between soldon macOS and zld.

Have you tried zld (https://github.com/michaeleisel/zld) for linking?

The default linker is single-threaded so, unless you're on a platform where you can use a fancier multi-threaded linker like mold or zld, single-core performance will dominate for the final linking step.

- If it's not a release build that needs to be verified-good, consider using `mold` to link your builds and test binaries: https://github.com/rui314/mold --- it is much faster than lld or gold. For mac users there is https://github.com/michaeleisel/zld but mostly if you care about build times you need to get off macOS somehow.

There is also zld (https://github.com/michaeleisel/zld) which might get you a further speed up.

as an alternative linker for Rust as an example:

I use cachpot (a sccache clone) for C, C++ and rust.

- I looked at https://github.com/paritytech/cachepot as the sccache successor fork and it seemed interesting but I got `sccache` working before I actually tried.
