Binutils OPT versions was highly optimized by me. The performance of tools such as ld/ar/ranlib/strip/objcopy/objdump has been greatly improved
Since v2.44, the performance of binutils has been officially optimized. But my optimization code is still faster (2%~10%)

How do I make a Portable development environment with EDX?
By default, EDX configuration and user data are stored in the AppData/Local/ed-x.cc/edx directory of the current user.
If the '.edx-data' directory exists in the edx home directory, it will be used instead of the user's AppData directory.
If the '.edx-data' directory exists in the edx home directory, it will be used instead of the user's AppData directory.
When EDX searches for a toolchain, it searches the 'toolsets' directory in the edx home directory,
your toolchain(s) can be placed in this directory.
For details, please refer to the structure of the EDX with GCC/LLVM-MINGW packages.
Note: Only related tools such as mingw/llvm-mingw/cmake/xmake are supported
