If you need to do this, you can do this in the compiler driver rather than in the linker itself. Is there any reason you need to do this in the linker?

I'd like to make lld agnostics of host OS so that the linker works exactly in the same way on any operating systems, which makes cross linking much easier to do. So, both a run-time detection of a host OS or a configure-time customization are I think undesirable.


Personally I have no strong opinion either way. Joerg is blocking a patch to handle it in clang: https://reviews.llvm.org/D33726

I find it very silly reason to brick NetBSD support in lld. I expect that it's easier to push paths into lld than convince @joerg to accept clang patch.
