GNU ld silently accepts the -rpath option for Windows targets, as a
no-op.
This has lead to some build systems (and users) passing this option
while building for Windows/MinGW, even if Windows doesn't have any
concept like rpath.
Older versions of Conan did include -rpath in the pkg-config files it
generated, see e.g.
17c58f0c61/conans/client/generators/pkg_config.py (L104-L114)
and
17c58f0c61/conans/client/build/compiler_flags.py (L26-L34)
- and see https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw/issues/300 for user
reports about this issue.
Recognize the option in LLD for MinGW targets, to improve drop-in
compatibility compared to GNU ld, but produce a warning to alert users
that the option really has no effect for these targets.
These were implemented in the COFF linker in
3923e61b96cf90123762f0e0381504efaba2d77a and
d12b99a4313816cf99e97cb5f579e2d51ba72b0b.
This matches the corresponding options in the ELF linker.
This was missed when mass-adding support for other LTO options in
0b51e648307cf6c21c463d3e73e51c03aaa8c9e2.
Group the existing thinlto_cache_dir with these other options in a new
group, next to the other LTO options.
This skips adding the options --thinlto-emit-index-files and
--thinlto-single-module=, which don't seem to have corresponding options
on the lld-link level currently.
This should fix https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw/issues/386.
Disallow using the form with a separate argument,
"--thinlto-cache-dir dir", allow only the one with equals,
"--thintlo-cache-dir=dir". This is the only form that actually was
tested when this was added in
f794808bb9ec06966a67fe33d41a13b9601768f8, and matches the ELF side,
where only the form with an equals is supported (and this was also the
case at the time when this option was added to the MinGW linker).

Before, lld-link only generate the debug directory containing guid when
generating PDB with the hash of PDB content.
With this change, lld-link can generate the debug directory when only
`/build-id` is given:
1. If generating PDB, `/build-id` is ignored. Same behaviour as before.
2. Not generating PDB, using hash of the binary.
- Not under MinGW, the debug directory is still in `.rdata` section.
- Under MinGW, place the debug directory into new `.buildid` section.
Treat this as an alias for the --shared option.
In practice in GNU ld, they aren't exact aliases but there are small
subtle differences in what happens and what doesn't, when they are set,
but those differences are probably not intended by users who might be
using the --dll option (which gets passed by -mdll in the compiler
driver), and the differences are within the area where small details
differ between LLD and GNU ld anyway.
like done in the ELF side
this would allow to use archlinux default mingw flags:
`-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed -fstack-protector`
(on archlinux packages use the GNU linker by default)
Many of these options can be passed to the linker by the Clang
driver based on other options passed to Clang, after
a23bf1786be7c0738a4cf999c2957155bb32d5af. Before commit
5c92c9f34a7dba804479acef62c576d1a170ef1f, these were ignored by
lld, but now we're erroring out on the unrecognized options.
The ELF linker has even more LTO options available, but not
all of these are currently settable via the lld-link option
interface, and some aren't set automatically by Clang but only
if the user manually passes them - and thus probably aren't in
wide use so far. (Previously LLD/MinGW would have accepted them
silently but ignored them though.)

These will be LLD-specific options to support Control Flow Guard for the
MinGW target. They are disabled by default, but enabling `--guard-cf`
will also enable `--guard-longjmp` unless `--no-guard-longjmp` is also
specified. These options maps to `-guard:cf,[no]longjmp`.
Note that these features require the `_load_config_used` symbol to
contain the load config directory and be filled with the required
symbols. While current versions of mingw-w64 do not supply this symbol,
the user can provide their own version of it.

Since binutils 2.36, GNU ld defaults to emitting base relocations,
and that version added the new option --disable-reloc-section to
disable it.

In the post commit discussion of https://reviews.llvm.org/D116484 it was concluded that `--no-as-needed` should not be ignored. `--as-needed` stays ignored as it is already the default behaviour on COFF, which cannot be changed.
In e72403f96de7f1c681acd5968f72aa986412dfce, we added the flag
"--no-dynamicbase" for disabling the dynamicbase flag which we set
by default. At the time, ld.bfd didn't have any corresponding
option (as ld.bfd defaulted to not setting the flag). Almost at
the same time, corresponding options were added to ld.bfd for
disabling it (while it was being enabled by default), with a
different name, "--disable-dynamicbase".
Thus add the "--disable-dynamicbase" option. Make this default
one advertised in the help listing, but keep the "--no-dynamicbase"
form as an alias. Also improve checking for the last option set
if there are multiple ones on the same command line.
Also add corresponding disable options for a lot of other flags
that we set by default, also added in ld.bfd in the same commit:

If linking directly against a DLL without an import library, the
DLL export symbols might not contain stdcall decorations.
If we have an undefined symbol with decoration, and we happen to have
a matching undecorated symbol (which either is lazy and can be loaded,
or already defined), then alias it against that instead.
This matches what's done in reverse, when we have a def file
declaring to export a symbol without decoration, but we only have
a defined decorated symbol. In that case we do a fuzzy match
(SymbolTable::findMangle). This case is more straightforward; if we
have a decorated undefined symbol, just strip the decoration and look
for the corresponding undecorated symbol name.
Add warnings and options for either silencing the warning or disabling
the whole feature, corresponding to how ld.bfd does it.
(This feature works for any symbol decoration mismatch, not only when
linking against a DLL directly; ld.bfd also tolerates it anywhere,
and also fixes up mismatches in the other direction, like
SymbolTable::findMangle, for any symbol, not only exports. But in
practice, at least for lld, it would primarily end up used for linking
against DLLs.)

Besides -Bdynamic and -Bstatic, ld documents additional aliases for both of these options. Instead of -Bstatic, one may write -dn, -non_shared or -static. Instead of -Bdynamic one may write -dy or -call_shared. Source: https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs-2.36/ld/Options.html
This patch adds those aliases to the MinGW driver of lld for the sake of ld compatibility.
Encountered this case while compiling a static Qt 6.1 distribution and got build failures as -static was passed directly to the linker, instead of through the compiler driver.

The implementation is significantly based on the support for --wrap

Previously this flag was just ignored. If set, set the
IMAGE_DLL_CHARACTERISTICS_NO_SEH bit, regardless of the normal safeSEH
machinery.
In mingw configurations, the safeSEH bit might not be set in e.g. object
files built from handwritten assembly, making it impossible to use the
normal safeseh flag. As mingw setups don't generally use SEH on 32 bit
x86 at all, it should be fine to set that flag bit though - hook up
the existing GNU ld flag for controlling that.

Allow disabling either the full auto import feature, or just
forbidding the cases that require runtime fixups.
As long as all auto imported variables are referenced from separate
.refptr$<name> sections, we can alias them on top of the IAT entries
and don't actually need any runtime fixups via pseudo relocations.
LLVM generates references to variables in .refptr stubs, if it
isn't known that the variable for sure is defined in the same object
module. Runtime pseudo relocs are needed if the addresses of auto
imported variables are used in constant initializers though.
Fixing up runtime pseudo relocations requires the use of
VirtualProtect (which is disallowed in WinStore/UWP apps) or
VirtualProtectFromApp. To allow any risk of ambiguity, allow
rejecting cases that would require this at the linker stage.
This adds support for the --disable-runtime-pseudo-reloc and
--disable-auto-import options in the MinGW driver (matching GNU ld.bfd)
with corresponding lld private options in the COFF driver.

When integrating PDB output in mingw targeting build systems, it
might be a lot of extra work to specify unique file names for
the pdb output. Therefore allow omitting the actual file name
and let it implicitly be the same name as the linker output, with
a pdb extension.
As the current form of the pdb option takes a separate parameter value,
e.g. "-pdb out.pdb", it is impractical to leave out the parameter value.
Therefore, introduce a second syntax for the option, with an equals
sign, like -pdb=out.pdb, where the value easily can be omitted.
The form -pdb= for requesting pdb files with an implicit name should
work fine, even though it looks a bit unconventional in that form.
