IMHO checking in a binary would actually be better.

Binaries are the input to the linker. What is desired in here is to
test that lld can work with a binary produced by a current clang. That
should still be the case in 1 year, even if what clang is producing is
different. Using yaml2obj just makes that connection more tenuous.
