This has been in the works for a long time, but not quite as long as my typo suggests; the tracking bug was submitted on 2015-04-13, a bit over two and a half years ago. I started looking at lld as a possible system linker in 2014. Many folks have been running with this change (and also WITH_LLD_IS_LD, so that lld is installed as /usr/bin/ld) for some time and I expect this change will be transparent for regular use (other than lld taking much less time to link, compared to ld.bfd). However, if you do encounter any trouble please set WITHOUT_LLD_BOOTSTRAP=yes in /etc/src.conf and let me know what the problem was.
