mold 1.11.0 is a new release of the high-speed linker. This is not a big release but includes general improvements and bug fixes.

New features

• IBM Power10 has been supported. Previously, mold created broken executables for that target. (5065547)
• --hash-style=none has been added to cancel --hash-style=sysv, --hash-style=gnu or --hash-style=both. (ec75633)
• [ARM32] R_ARM_PLT32 relocation type has been supported. (e505900)
• [RISC-V] R_RISCV_PLT32 relocation type has been supported. (51845ac)

Bug fixes and compatibility improvements

• Previous versions of mold failed to link some programs in rare corner cases if Link-Time Optimization (LTO) is enabled. These bugs have been fixed. (e1a7590, 62d6537)
• mold used to ignore dependencies between DSOs. Since this version, if a required DSO depends on other as-needed DSO, mold keeps the latter DSO as a required one. This improves compatibility with GNU linkers. (1adde7a)
• [x86-64] mold can now link object files generated by old buggy versions of GCC. (d2970e0)
• [x86-64] Previously, a program with a very large .bss section may fail to link due to R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX relocation overflow (#975). This bug has been fixed. (627bf7c)
