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

[Rafael Espíndola via llvm-commits]

Sorry, I misread

+def sunassert : Flag<["-"], "assert">,
+     HelpText<"Ignored for SunOS Compatibility">;

as creating a -sunassert option.

I really think we should drop at last qmagic since gold not supporting
it is a pretty strong indication it is not needed.

Even the other options I think we should add as needed. If no software
out there is still using them, we will never add them.

Cheers,
Rafael
