HA: [lld] r248389 - [ELF2] - added ignored command line options for compatibility.

[George Rimar via llvm-commits]

I found the description of that flag in The GNU Linker book - http://www.eecs.umich.edu/courses/eecs373/readings/Linker.pdf
Page 14:
-assert keyword
This option is ignored for SunOS compatibility

Sorry I probably made the wrong decision about this.
This doesn't seem harmful, but, after a second look, doesn't seem useful either.
George, can you clarify what's your use-case for this?
