[GHC DevOps Group] CircleCI status

[Phyx]

Hi Ben,

Sorry for the delay, had been away. I've rebased the branch and spun a
64-bit tarball
https://mistuke.blob.core.windows.net/binaries/releases/mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils-phyx.r6.1b62f9f9-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
If this doesn't have any effect then I think I'd need to profile a slow
linking example. The problem is that eventually the cache gets hot so I
can't tell unless I flush it if it helped.

I think dynamic linking should speed this up as well. I have that on my
list after the I/O manager (which currently only lacks me finishing the new
synchronization primitive, yay debugging CMM)...

Let me know the results of your testing. I remember for my own testing with
-ffunction-sections it did make difference.

Cheers,
Tamar
