None of gold, lld or mold can replace GNU ld entirely because they don't cover all features that GNU ld has.

the whole embedded world uses linker scripts. for sure not mold goal. also, they don't have linker performance problems, but the big C++ apps have.

Read the readme. Full compatibility with gold/lld is a non-goal and will significantly slow down the linker IIUC.
