<p>I guess the first thing to do is see if we can figure out if it's Libtool being slow or just GNU Linker.</p>
<p><a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/hovercards?user_id=1107820" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/ntrel">@ntrel</a> is using a plain Make file which is presumably using GNU LD without Libtool, so maybe could comment on whether the linking stage is appreciably faster. If it is just a Libtool issue, I think we could probably just not use it (at least on Windows)?</p>
