Lift some code from llvm-dlltool, the lld code is meant to follow what gnu ld does but that's not much useful for our purposes. Also use the `--kill-at` option when generating the .lib files out of mingw's .def files: this way our building process closely matches the one use by the upstream and now finally generates files that allow both C code and Zig code to link.
LLVM Linker (lld)
This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for the LLVM Linker, a modular cross platform linker which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project.
lld is open source software. You may freely distribute it under the terms of the license agreement found in LICENSE.txt.
Benchmarking
In order to make sure various developers can evaluate patches over the same tests, we create a collection of self contained programs.
