The reason noone cared much about GNU gold is that it supports only a
limited set of platforms and forces a lot of modern GNU "innovations"
without any chance of fixing them. To a degree, both concerns apply to
lld as well, but reasonable well integrated LTO support with Clang
provides at least something in return. I have no idea about your link
times, the only situation where linking is taking a really significant
chunk of time is for full debug builds and the general solution for that
is DWARF fission.
