From 65a716bb95baa3b2617bafe6a86173da8cea7933 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andre Heider Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2023 17:13:15 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] config: add a knob to use the mold linker for packages Building it requires gcc >= 10.2 or clang >= 12. Using sstrip with its -z argument can produce non-working binaries, like a segfaulting `getrandom`, so don't allow that combination.
