It's not about using linker scripts on Windows but cross-compiling for other systems that use linker scripts on Windows, e.g. we use linker scripts in Fuchsia and would like to build Clang toolchain including all runtimes on Windows which requires running this code when cross-compiling runtimes for Fuchsia.
