I find that hard to believe, considering Android is switching to 
it:

"LLD is now available for testing. AOSP is in the process of 
switching to using LLD by default and the NDK will follow 
(timeline unknown). Test LLD in your app by passing -fuse-ld=lld 
when linking."

It may still have bugs though, maybe you can report your problems.

LDC comes with lld built in, available through the 
`-link-internally` flag that kinke added.
