It's alive and updated regularly but is not under very active
development though. It supports ELF AArch64/ARM/Hexagon/Mips/X86
targets and some cool features like identical code folding. By the way
it operates on "Fragments" where the Fragment is the minimal linking
unit. This concept is similar to Chunk.
