PathScale is lining up the pieces to do part of the work for a linker, 
but not all of it.  Someone @FBSD contacted me, but hasn't followed-up 
to figure out if our work will be beneficial to you guys at all.

I honestly think the best option is grab the OpenSolaris linker.  (I 
recently too a quick look at the sources and someone should be able to 
easily extract it)

Pros
1) You may be able to find ports of it for ARM/MIPS/PPC/SPARC/x86
2) It works well - (I call bs to anyone that says contrary)
3) Extensively tested

Cons (I could be wrong on some of this)
1) Performance - This would possibly pop up with large C++ codes, but I 
have no benchmarks to say how slow/fast it is.
2) Plugin architecture - This would tie into LTO/IPA and other compiler 
optimizations
3) You're a license zealot
