One detail is that this vendors I'll have to discuss with @let-def but some work probably needs doing to somehow unify |

Are the speed-ups comparable, if the internal assembler doesn't generate debug_line sections? What portion of does gas spend in handling dwarf? |
We don't know yet for sure, but I think there will still be a significant speed-up. |

This PR uses the existing
x86_binary_emitterto construct object files directly, allowing us to avoid calling out to GAS.As can be seen in the table below this results in a substantial performance speed up.
In the case of
Typecore.mlthe total build time reduced from 2.737 to 2.624 resulting overall in a ~4% speed up in build time for this file.
