Interesting, perhaps I should have known that, though I have not 
used DMD on Windows for many years until now.

I have this from a 64-bit "Developer Command Prompt":
```
> lld-link --version
LLD 9.0.0 (https://github.com/dlang/installer 
d4266cf3dccfd7a7d361d28143f86e98b2da8db8)
> dmd --version
DMD64 D Compiler v2.107.0

```
Whereas from an MSYS2 Clang64 terminal I have this:
```
$ lld-link --version
LLD 17.0.6$ clang --version
clang version 17.0.6
```
suggesting that there's a reason version 9 instead of 17 of lld 
is being used in the latest DMD installation, that may be 
relevant what I'd like to try. Any idea what that might be?
