I tried lld on Linux for D binaries and some of them crash. That 
might not mean anything on Windows, but given that I've run into 
2 dmd bugs so far in which picking one of ld.bfd or ld.gold 
produced crashing binaries, I'd be wary of using lld on Windows 
until it's thoroughly tested on dozens of executables.
