<pre>We had a problem with a bad build that was effectively writing nonsense in to
object files. As lld didn't recognise them as anything else, it attempted to
parse gibberish as a script.
One of the errors we saw was something like this:
ld.lld: error: unclosed comment in a linker script
Another was like this:
ld.lld: error: trampled.o:8513: unclosed quote
The second type of error was far more useful, as the inclusion of the filename
helped with diagnosis. Perhaps the filename could be mentioned in all such
diagnostics?
Reproducible with commit d080635bf:
$ echo '/*' > comment.script && ./bin/ld.lld comment.script
ld.lld: error: unclosed comment in a linker script</pre>
