    lld has two version-related options, `-v` and `--version`. The difference is that `ld.lld -v -o hello hello.o` will print out its version and then continue, whereas `ld.lld --version -o hello hello.o` will exit immediately.

When lld is invokved as `wasm-ld` , it treats both flags identically and always exits early:

This breaks existing tooling that expects `clang -Wl,-v` to generate output regardless of the chosen target platform.
