I also came across posts recording a massive improvement in link
times for webkit. One of those posts said that the gtk buildbots
for webkit were forcing gold by putting /usr/lib/gold-ld/ at the
front of the PATH - but on a stock install binutils does not create
that. Probably, the same can be achieved (for testing) by creating
/usr/bin/gold/ld as a symlink and then altering $PATH for the test
runs (those of us with a lot of scripts probably don't want to hack
the correct CC= into each script).
Interesting info.
For your scripts, may I suggest having a 'global' file for common things.
For instance I have in all my scripts:
source /usr/src/stats
but that file has more than just things relating to statistics. For
example, I use $SUDO when I wan to do privileged things, so I have:
if [ $UID -ne 0 ]; then SUDO='sudo -E'; fi
Occasionally I want to override this for a DESTDIR install, so I just use
SUDO=
after the source statement.
