I really think there is no point in making this an option. If someone
has to modify their makefile to add a lld only option they may as well
add the missing "a" to the assembly.

If this is fairly common or if there is a good justification as to why
it is useful (as with NOBITS), then we should just implement
it. Otherwise we should keep producing errors,
