Very interesting. Has anyone looked into the quality of the code? Any ideas what design they're using for the linker? Linking large projects with GNU ld and gold has gotten basically impossible without a 64-bit memory space, so it would be really nice to see a new linker that's efficient. I've worked on linker designs with some of the people on #musl but none of us have the time to work on a linker, so I'd be interested in hearing if they're taking a similar approach or if any of the outcomes of our design discussions might be useful contributions to their project.
