That probably will work, as well as changing to -m elf_i386. But then that means we have bfd, gold and LLD all with different behavior.
I am not sure why do you want this incompatibility when we can just ignore -m if have any object files ?

(currently patch do override of -m, but I think I can update it to "check that -m is valid value and ignore it if type was inferred from .o")

Current way that looks duplicates gold behavior seems logical enough and does not require fix of side applications.

George.?
