These aren't as precise as your collection (rounding due to the units). But it does identify the areas.

Hahaha. I heard you liked linkers, so I put four in your install.
They're all the same size. Are there differences between them. If not are they all symlinks to the same binary at least?

They should be identical copies. They will compress to a single copy though they cannot be symlinks :frowning: This would a good thing to resolve upstream.

I have since removed the .darwinnew + .darwinold symlinks, so that will be resolved in the future. Unfortunately ld.lld.exe + ld64.lld.exe will both continue to exist and be symlinks. Theoretically we could just include one but then we'd have to pass the mode in every invocation since today it uses the basename for this.
