This is what clang does on Linux, by detecting the existence of /usr/bin/ld.gold and then using it. This can be done with gcc by passing -fuse-ld=gold. It's a much faster linker and doesn't consume as much memory, so it will reduce the compiler's peak memory consumption.

FWIW I did an experiment today and servo in debug mode builds in 54 seconds with ld and 14 seconds with gold. I'm going to see if I can get a patch together for this.
