mold is available as package for Ubuntu >= 22.04 and Debian >= 12.
Older versions of mold do not support LTO and fall back to ld
comparing timings with mold and without there seems to be a small improvement. But as the CI time can vary quite a bit, more experiments would be needed.
Hi,
while waiting for Storm to link on linux... I found this

I believe this could be a tremendous step towards faster CI.
