LINK FLAGS "-z now" throws an error when cross-compiling

I was using cmake-js in conjunction with cmake-node-module to cross-compile node modules for windows from linux. However at line number 178 of module.cmake the LINK_FLAGS "-z now" turns out to be invalid option for the linker x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld. I get the following output,

# Running the following command from a CMakeLists file dir to build the node modules 
cmake-js compile --CDCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<path-to-cmake-toolchain-file>

# The configuring and generating are successful, and build files are written successfully.
# However, in the subsequent linking step I get the following output.

Inspect module.cmake at line 178 and reproduce the cross-compilation command using the provided CMake toolchain file. Check how the LINK_FLAGS setting reaches the x86_64-w64-mingw32 linker, then verify that the hello-world-native.abi-93 target links successfully without the unsupported option.
