Seems like the documentation wasn't updated since this was added (And in general that page hasn't been touched in a long time and is probably outdated in other parts aswell). Would great to update it since it misleading and I was confused myself. Thanks!

Research direction

Start with the Windows support page at lld.llvm.org/windows_support.html and compare its /DRIVER statement with commit f95ed69641d5431a3789e7ea5d4f7837eaae18f3. Update the inaccurate documentation and check the rest of the page for similarly outdated claims, with the page accurately reflecting current LLD Windows support when done.
