WalkthroughThe change configures Mold for AArch64 linking across Cargo and Docker build environments. It pins and verifies the ARM64 Mold archive, adds linker wrappers, and retains LLD for x86_64 builds. ChangesAArch64 linker configuration
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR changes ARM64 build images to install and use mold, but the linker packages remain unpinned, so future image rebuilds may select different toolchain versions and make builds less reproducible. This is a bounded follow-up risk rather than a merge blocker. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

In @.cargo/config.toml:
- Around line 40-43: Align the AArch64 linker configuration used by
build-artifacts-container-cross-aarch64:latest with the
target.aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu settings in .cargo/config.toml: remove or
update the conflicting CARGO_TARGET_AARCH64_UNKNOWN_LINUX_GNU_LINKER override,
then validate the verbose linker command for the cross-build. If the override is
intentional, document the exception and test both linker paths.

Summary
Motivation
GNU ld exhausted a 16 GiB ARM64 development VM while linking the ci-tests profile. Concurrent linker processes reached approximately 3.6 GiB and 4.1 GiB RSS before the kernel OOM killer terminated them. Mold is substantially more memory-efficient for these large test binaries.
The linker must also be present and selected inside containerized builds. In particular, the cross-compilation image previously overrode the repository Cargo linker with the ARM64 GCC driver, while the native artifact images did not provide mold. Linker selection remains scoped to Cargo because iPXE requires GNU ld for its EFI linker script.
