OK, as you allow now a shell wrapper of lld, this is a progress. nb.lld is a C++ wrapper on steroids doing the right job and part of the upstream repo (this is required).

We do not allow downstream LLVM/Clang/... patches in our basesystem and keeping this code upstream is required. Also from maintenance burden as LLVM APIs evolve quickly.

The modern Linux/GNU behavior is rejected in NetBSD and we keep the traditional behavior that is considered by our community as desired.

This is another topic and indeed probably our next major target to get to work within LLD.
