There are assemblers that do more, such as re-organising code sections 
to shorten branches or improve code and data locality for better cache 
efficiency.  I don't know details of many such assemblers in practice 
(and I know nothing of NASM in particular), but it's easy to see that 
such optimisations could become equivalent to the travelling salesman 
problem if the assembler writer gets too enthusiastic.

"Bug" implies a specific error in the implementation - this could be a 
design limitation with the algorithms used simply not scalable to such 
large code bases.  Perhaps the jump optimisation is done in a simplistic 
way where each time an opportunity for shorting a jump is found, a new 
full pass is triggered to run through the entire source again.  That 
would give you roughly quadratic scaling, but might easily be worse in 
some cases.  Perhaps the data structures for the symbol tables are 
optimised for smaller sizes of source that are more realistic - NASM was 
designed long before whole-program optimisation was common.

I don't know NASM at all, and have not used it, so I can only make vague 
suggestions.  And maybe it is as simple as a bug somewhere.

Making a fast assembler is not usually a hard task (though there are a 
great many time-consuming details).  And you are correct that the kinds 
of optimisations done in assemblers rarely have significant effects.

clang was always a front-end to llvm.  LLVM is designed to be a 
middle-end for compilers (including byte compilers, JIT compilers, etc.) 
that handles low level language agnostic optimisations of a generalised 
virtual processor.  It does things like inter-procedural optimisations, 
constant propagation, whole-program optimisations, and corresponding 
static analysis and error checking.  The input to LLVM comes from a 
variety of front-end language handlers - C and C++ are covered by clang, 
Fortran by flang, and there are a dozen or more others.  The output is 
passed on to one of many back ends for different target processors.

When clang/llvm was new, it was a lot faster than gcc but the resulting 
code was not nearly as efficient, the static checking was not as 
powerful (though the messages it produced were neater), and the 
extensions and additional features were fewer.  Gradually it caught up 
with gcc in its power - and slowed in compilation speed.  Meanwhile, gcc 
was inspired to improve compilation speed and give better warning 
messages.  Now they are much closer in functionality (but "clone" is 
completely the wrong idea), and also in speed.

That tells us that gcc is not, in fact, particularly slow for what it 
does.  It had scope for improvement, and still does, but if you want a 
compiler that can do what gcc can do, it takes time.  (You can look at 
Intel's icc for another sample.)


I have said repeatedly that I do not see compilation time as an issue 
for C, and that is, I believe, the common attitude.  But for C++ it is a 
different matter entirely.  C++ compilation is much more time-consuming 
in itself, and C++ headers are often massively more complex than C 
headers - entire libraries are included in headers so that compiling 
your 5 KLoc source file might mean the compiler faces 1 MLoc after 
includes.  So C++ compilation speed is always the main focus for the 
compiler developers, with much less consideration for C.

Imagine it like running a town.  You have a town council that makes the 
big decisions, with members who change over time and have different 
ideas.  You have a town that people use, but there are always new 
facilities to introduce, repairs or changes to be made, people that 
complain about problems that must be fixed - all with limited resources, 
and without breaking everything.  When you need a new school, it's much 
easier to build it in the outskirts where there is more space.  When you 
need a faster road, you build a bypass or a ring-road - you don't mess 
with the historic town centre.  You know that the town would run more 
efficiently if you knocked down the middle part and set it up as a neat 
grid of wide streets - and you know it is utterly impossible to do that. 
  You might occasionally knock down an old building, but you don't do so 
often.

In comparison, you've built your own hut in the woods, and gradually 
turned it into a working farm.  That is hugely impressive.  But it 
cannot be compared to the town, either in its functionality, its users, 
its features, or how it is run and changed.  (And in this metaphor, 
Jacob inherited his grandparent's farm and added some extensions and a 
barn.)

Simplification, deletion and consolidation /do/ happen in projects like 
gcc, but rarely and not without /very/ strong justification.
