There is work being done to support incremental linking in the gold
linker. Cary Coutant, CC'ed, is doing this work. I think it's mostly a
set of patches in his own working directory, though. There is some
design discussion at http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GoldIncrementalLinking . I
don't know how up to date that is.
I'm not aware of any work on incremental linking in the GNU linker.
