[LLD] Linker Relaxation
Hi, Does lld support linker relaxation that may shrink code size? As far as I see lld seems to assume that the content of input sections to be fixed other than patching up relocations, but I believe some targets may benefit the extra optimization opportunity with relaxation. Specifically, I'm currently working on adding support for RISC-V in lld, and RISC-V heavily relies on linker relaxation
