I'm already helping the MCLinker folks to make MCLinker an alternative linker for FreeBSD, including implementing the necessary GNU ld-compatible flags. They are 90% done WRT userland, and linking the kernel is next.

What we really need is a more flexible way of specifying which linker the compiler should use internally. Replacing /usr/bin/ld with a symlink is not flexible.

Thanks,
