12/20/2021, 3:53 PMcompiling all the klibs to binary code in the link* taskIs this this something that can be done in a parallelized way, using Gradle Workers and/or configuration cache? One of the biggest issues with the Link task is that not only does it takes a long time but it also doesnāt get parallelized when there are multiple targets to link
