zld performance on macos

[randomNinja1000]

Hello,

I have been experimenting with zig lately and I believe I am seeing some unexpected time / memory consumption from zld.

TL;DR is on an example I post here I see 10x slower link times with zld https://github.com/randomNinja1000/zld-memory-issues and very high memory consumptions.

In other scenarios, this easily blows up my 64GB mem + 64 GB swap when linking multiple larger objects in parallel.

Is this a known issue?

Is there a way for you to put them separately to a tarball?

Fix in #140 for standalone zld, and in a branch for upstream zig in ziglang/zig@ed7073c
