</div>Now that LLD works well for FreeBSD/amd64 (and arm64 is very close)<br>
I'm looking at other architectures, starting with mips64. The<br>
statically-linked toolchain components currently fail to link with an<br>
out of range jump, so I'm very interested in seeing this work<br>
progress. Are you looking at only arm and AArch64? Once the<br>
infrastructure is in I'll try to take a look at mips if nobody else<br>
does first.<br>

Not sure about FreeBSD but on Linux that leads to incorrect code in case of static linking -- a thunk goes between crt*.o files which needs to be "joined" together. Gnu linker puts thunks to the separate section. We need to do the same thing.</div></div>
