This seems like a good improvement. As far as I remember, it was slower to do the final link without the index built. Maybe I was testing it in a revision before moving those files into --whole-archive? If there is no slowdown, then I have no objection. Acked-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxxxx>
