<pre>
    I'm currently distributing ld64.lld as a pre-compiled binary for our team. In the future when development slows down maybe it won't be necessary and we can use one that ships with the LLVM release or Xcode, but for the foreseeable future this seems like a reasonable thing to do.

Currently with a macOS arm64 only release binary, lld is ~100mbs. Stripping the binary with `strip -SXTx bin/lld` reduces it to ~75mbs. This is clearly a large download. For reference ld64 is ~2mbs, ld.gold is ~2mbs, and mold is ~8mbs. None of these are great comparisons, but still shows an order of magnitude difference.

I'm curious if anyone else has ever taken a look at any low hanging fruit for binary size, or if I should look into this a bit (or if I shouldn't!).
