They say it's mostly done:

https://lld.llvm.org/windows_support.html

kinke integrated the Windows support in the latest ldc beta, so

from any other ldc/lld-supported platform, like macOS or linux, 
provided you have the MSVC libc available for executables or 
shared libraries (libc not needed for static libraries of course):
