    I mean:
    NGX_LDMOLD='y'
    PHP_LDMOLD='y'


    I searched this forum but found not much information about those.

    Is this the repo?
    GitHub - rui314/mold: Mold: A Modern Linker

    Nginx 1.27.x
    MariaDB 10.x/11.4+
    Yup those variables are for the linked Mold linker as alternative to linux default GNU linker and current Centmin Mod Nginx and PHP-FPM used Gold linker. It's meant to in theory speed up overall Nginx and PHP-FPM compilations though in real life hasn't been much difference from my tests. But that could be due to Mold linker being heavily beneficial in multi-threaded CPU systems (more CPU cores the better).
