And during all that time, GNU ld worked just fine, completely without 
bugs! I had to add hacks to my code to make it linkable on Windows.

And no, GNU ld is not too slow. The most time during building is wasted 
due to not having _working_ incremental building (Tom S discussed the 
issues about that with you). Additionally, I prefer a slow, working 
linker over a fast, crashing one.
