[PATCH] Don't set $LIB if we're not targetting windows.

The comment came with my private code. But I don't feel strongly about it.

The thing is: we might be running on Windows, but targeting a different OS.
In which case we don't want to pass LIB along. Your toolchain runs on
Windows, but you're compiling for arch-vendor-anotheros.

Wouldn't lld on Windows also look at LIB if it was emulating link.exe (I
don't know if there's a mode for that, like for emulating ld)?
