At the moment, I am not sure, as I am not the author of package and I hav=
e=20
no deeper knowledge of it beyound the fact it works well for purpose I ne=
ed=20
it (that is, reducing link time of my ussual mingw projects from minutes =
to=20
seconds).

I am afraid author is not subscribed to this mailing list, if you want to=
=20
contact him, try uppmain mailing list instead. Also, I think he is open t=
o=20
improvements. I will try to bring his attention here.

Anyway, it is drop-in replacement. All you need to test it is backup=20
(rename) your original ld.exe/ar.exe, unpack uldar and put new ld.exe and=
=20
ar.exe to bin.

Would you wish to play with sources, they are part of regular U++ release=
s.

Since this information does not appear to be obviously accessable on the
main page, can you briefly summarize the main features of this linker
from a standpoint useful for people presently using GNU binutils ld?
How does its PECOFF support compare to binutils'?  Does it support any
of the extended features binutils supports, such as -wrap?
