In the latest documentation it is recommended to use sold (a fork of mold for macos).

The problem I face is that I don't manage to build it.

I cloned the repository:

https://github.com/bluewhalesystems/sold.git

but when I follow the other steps:

cd mold/build
git checkout stable
../install-build-deps.sh

I get the following error:

error: pathspec 'stable' did not match any file(s) known to git

The paid sold repo has not had activity for 5 months, as opposed to the free mold being last updated today. The build instructions do not work for sold. There are no tags so git checkout v2.4.0 doe...

I think bevy's documentation should be updated

The latest default linker on Mac is as fast/faster than mold.
