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