Per https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55418931/ld-exe-unrecognized-option-z

> The -z options are just not supported for Windows versions of ld. Check with ld --help. For Cygwin, it should not list -z options that are present when running the same command on a Linux system. I believe this is because options here are really only meaningful on Linux.
