One interesting aspect of this change in LLD is that the attribute responsible for its name (that is, the magic number) is not relevant for ELF and doesn't offer any immediate clue as to how LLD's output will change under the option. But it's much easier to find useful information in a search for "--omagic" compared to "-N". In an eventual LLD man page we'll presumably need a note explaining that the long form of the option comes from a pre-ELF object file format.
