Faster linking times on nightly on Linux using `rust-lld, https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/05/17/enabling-rust-lld-on-linux.html.
> Here are more details from the ripgrep example mentioned above: linking is reduced 7x, resulting in a 40% reduction in end-to-end compilation times
tl;dr: Rust now packages a rust-lld linker (it’s LLVM’s lld), and uses it on Linux by default on nightly, which decreases compilation time greatly.
