================
Comment at: docs/ReleaseNotes.rst:54-55
+
+* lld can create thunks for ARM, to allow linking images over 16 MB
+  (which link.exe doesn't support).
+
----------------
I'm pretty certain link.exe supports branch islands. They even have optimization options related to that (see `/opt:lbr`): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/opt-optimizations?view=vs-2017
