I'm not particularly active in lld anymore, but the last big item I'd
like to see implemented is Pettis-Hansen layout.
http://perso.ensta-paristech.fr/~bmonsuez/Cours/B6-4/Articles/papers15.pdf
(mainly because it improves performances of the final executable).
GCC/gold have an implementation of the algorithm that can be used as
base. I'll expand if anybody is interested.
Side note: I'd like to propose a couple of llvm projects as well, I'll
sit down later today and write them.
