[Release-testers] [llvm-dev] [9.0.0 Release] Release Candidate 1 is here

[Hans Wennborg via Release-testers]

Hi Russell,

There's no fundamental reason more than that the script is old (from
before lld had Windows support) and hasn't been updated to use lld for
the bootstrap. I gave it a quick try but ran into problems linking the
openmp library. I was probably holding it wrong, but I probably won't
try to change the script during the release process. It would be nice
to bootstrap with lld in the future, though.

Thanks,
Hans
