No, lld is a hard requirement. Part of what we're trying to do is test that we emit PDBs that can work with Microsoft tools. If we use the system linker, that defeats the entire purpose.
As an aside, "system linker" on Windows isn't really a thing, since systems don't really //have// linkers unless you install them. Which in this case would be MSVC's linker, which we already know works for obvious reasons
