[LLVMdev] RFC: I plan to remove the autoconf and Makefile build of LLD

[Chandler Carruth]

I'm fine keeping this until we can undertake the larger effort, but:

1) No build bot seems to be testing it.
2) No active developers (on any part of LLVM) seem to be testing it.

So I fear that it isn't sustainable in its current state.
