The issue with lld-link is that in MSVC environments, the convention is to invoke `link` or `lld-link` directly without going through `cl` or `clang-cl`. That's what makes things problematic here, and this is one potential path forward.

FWIW, IIRC there was a discussion a couple years ago, where iirc NetBSD wanted ld.lld to use some default paths to make it a better drop-in replacement for the GNU linker.
