From a short test on my PC:
When iterating on changes, linker usually took most of the build time on my machine, this helps the link times massively. The PR enables lld on executables via the CMake configuration, and on faasm shared libraries, but not manually created libraries as flags used for building the SGX trusted enclave library were not compatible - this way that specific library is still compiled with the default ld.bfd linker.
