However, it was committed upstream and should be the most expedient way to get libtool-using third party software to link with lld. As Sean Silva wrote in https://reviews.llvm.org/D31199: Btw, I think this is one of the clearest proofs that LLD has crossed a big milestone and is now entering "production quality". You don't see this kind of hack in a non-production-quality program. I still hope libtool will gain native support for lld, and perhaps many years from now this can be removed.
