In a previous posting, I compared the speed of my linker (lcclnk,
distributed with lcc-win32) with Gnu's 'ld'. This comparison is not so
fair, because the design goals are completely different in this
linkers:


My linker is designed for speed, to run under windows. Gnu's linker
is designed for portability to run anywhere.


Just comparing raw link speed doesn't do justice to the gnu people and their
project.


I wanted to correct this.
