# Link via clang+wild. Wild sits behind the linker (not a rustflag) so a
# cross-toolchain that overrides the linker drops it instead of choking on
# --ld-path. Needs clang and wild on PATH.

# Invoke mold, then strip junk sections from the output binary with objcopy.
# This (more or less) removes sections that mold cannot discard itself, such as:
# - .eh_frame / .eh_frame_hdr - unwind tables from compiler_builtins
# - .dynstr - mold emits this, even for fully static binaries
# - .comment - compiler version string
#
# We forward everything to mold via -fuse-ld, then post-process the output in place.
