[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

here is a patch set to add mold linker.

I've temporarily put the package definition into gnu/packages/raspberry-pi.scm as I'm unsure if it should go to gnu/packages/commencement.scm or somewhere else.

It would be be interesting to test it as a new default linker on such a large scale project.

Also there is currently one test failing so I've disabled the tests for now:

Testing mold-wrapper ... execl: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [Makefile.linux:6: elf/mold-wrapper.sh] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Applied both with minor changes (see below), thanks.

I’m also closing the two other issues you mentioned that were adding
mold.  Please let us know if there’s something to borrow from them!
