<pre>
    LLD does not support unary '+' operator in linker scripts. We should perhaps support this for compatibility with GNU linker.

Reproducible example:

```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash

cat >1.c <<\EOF
int foo() { return 1; }
int bar() { return 3; }
EOF

cat >script.t <<\EOF
val = +0x1;
EOF

clang-18 -o 1.o 1.c -c -ffunction-sections
ld.bfd -o 1.bdf.out 1.o -T script.t
ld.lld -o 1.lld.out 1.o -T script.t
```

GNU LD produces no error, whereas LLD reports:

```
ld.lld: error: script.t:1: malformed number: +
>>> val = +0x1;
```
