## Why did you decide to unarchive this repo?
53-

Excellent question! If you recall, back in March 2021, I've moved the development of the linker directly
55-
to upstream (Zig master), and since then, `zld` (or `zig ld` in fact) has been able to link a variety
56-
of projects targeting Mach-O file format. Now I am in the process of implementing a traditional ELF linker,
57-
so I've decided to repeat the process which in my humble opinion worked out pretty well for Mach-O. The idea
58-
is to start small by adding basic linking in a standalone repo (separate from Zig master), and when the linker
59-
matures enough, upstream it into Zig. I think this approach makes sense and allows me to focus on the target
60-
file format only rather than try and tackle both a new file format and challenges of incremental linking.

62-
Having said that, I've also decided to downstream all latest developments to the traditional Mach-O linker
63-
back into this repo, thus making `zld` a capable standalone linker when it comes to linking Mach-O. I'll strive
64-
to make it a direct replacement for any system linker, however, note that my priority will always be advancing
65-
of `zig ld` (which is not to say that I won't backport fixes from one to another). At the end of the day, the idea
66-
will be to swap in `zig ld` in place of any other linker.

You are welcome to contribute to this repo, but ask you to see if you could also contribute the same fix
82-
to Zig too. This will make my life easier and you will have made many Zig developers happy!
