Investigate the curious case of GHC > 8.6 linker speedups
I found some magical speedup when gold

file GHC produced, with 20x less IO being done by the linker:

We should investigate whether that's an improvement in GHC > 8.6, or something due to the fact that I'm not using a bindist.
Maybe that speedup can be achieved in general?
