I made a quick test on a Windows 8 64bit system:

test.c: int main () { return 42; }
> clang -c test.c
> lld -flavor link test.o
> .\test.exe
This application can not be run in Win32 mode.

Maybe I can produce correct results by specifying -target, but I
couldn't get it to even accept -flavor and -target arguments in the
same command line.

> lld -target x86_64-pc-win32 -flavor link test.o
warning: ignoring unknown argument: -flavor
