Good numbers. We are probably already on per with gold in terms of output
size. (It's actually more than per, so we may be discarding too much data

pass.)

This feature makes LLD about 1.5x slower. Does this feature have to be
enabled by default? It feels like it's a kind of -O1 feature for linkers.
