[llvm-dev] LLD (macOS) usage?

[Saleem Abdulrasool via llvm-dev]

MachO support in lld is not really ready for real world usage.  It was able to bootstrap itself a couple of years ago, but, it has not really been maintained or further developed since.  I would recommend that you use ld64 if you are intending to build MachO binaries.
