Main aim of that patch was to allow combination of -m elf_x86_64 and i386 objects.
Previously LLD took machine type and other data from -m and ignored inferring from objects and reported a error finally.
Patch changes logic to check objects first. And only after that check -m if not inferred data.

Setting alternative values is secondary thing here. Though it is looks consistent with what bfd do 
(https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=31678) and documentation in general I think.
