[llvm-dev] lld as ld replacement on Windows (with MinGW)

[Otto Tronarp via llvm-dev]

Hi,

I couldn’t find a lld specific list so I hope this is the correct place for
lld questions.

I would like to build a llvm/clang/libcxx based toolchain for Windows using
the MinGW runtime. Since the MinGW runtime kind of expects to be built by
gcc I figured the easiest way forward would be to use lld in ld mode.
However, it seems that lld cannot produce windows executables while working
in “ld mode”.
lld -flavor gnu -m i386pe
error: unsupported emulation 'i386pe’.

Is support for i386pe in ld mode something that is on the road map for lld
or should I just give up this route?

In general I would very much appreciate  if anyone has any pointers for how
to build a llvm/clang/libxx toolchain for Windows using MinGW runtime (the
end goal being to have a toolchain free from GNU tools and without the
dependency on Visual Studio).

Cheers,
Otto
