Originally this was just going to be a test commit.

Yes this is true but we can add support for it in objdump and readobj so that llvm can at least recognize import library files.
End users have a habit of mistakenly using i686 libraries with x86_64 and I feel they will do the same with aarch64 and arm once it is released.
It might be useful to lld if we want to print out a decent error message when they do this.
