C/C++ link is slow, especially for node like projects, which will link GBs data to 100MB like size
C/C++ link process can not be cached
mold is really really fast

The first time I tried mold on my aarch64 system it crashed on me but it was ok on the second attempt , but assuming this was a one-off I reckon I'd be 👍🏻 on this suggestion to end users.

@H4ad @sxa @anonrig Hi folks, please review again, sorry for these repeated errors, I am a newbie to nodejs community:)

I will fix other document errors later, and I know I can do make lint-md and make format-md locally, that's very
helpful, cool :)

@rui314 Hi Rui, is that ok we use sold in nodejs, as this mark on https://bluewhale.systems/ websit

What is the difference between sold and mold?
Other than the branding and their licenses, sold and mold behave the same. Both sold and mold are developed >> by us and our contributors.

btw, and whether mold merge all sold functions?

sold is not actively maintained anymore because with Xcode 15, Apple has made their linker much faster than it was. So you want to recommend it instead of sold. IIRC, the Apple's new linker is available as ld-prime after installing Xcode 15.

Since Apple's linker is not my product, and I no longer working on macOS, I don't know whether that LDFLAGS works or not.

I don't have macos :/

Also, as mentioned by @anonrig, I think we should remove mold from macos section and don't use sold since is not maintained anymore.
