In e72403f96d, 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:

This does the same fix as D107237 but for a couple more options,
converting all remaining cases of such options to accept both
forms, for consistency. This fixes building e.g. openldap, which
uses --image-base=<value>.

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.)

As the COFF linker is capable of linking directly against a DLL now
(after D104530, as long as it is running in mingw mode), don't error
out here but successfully load libraries specified with "-l" from DLLs
if that's what ld.bfd would have matched.

This particular linker invocation is only run to check that we accept
options, but we don't inspect the generated command line. As all other
commands in the file have their output piped to FileCheck, the lit test
doesn't print any other output; therefore silence this one for consistency
as well.
This is consistent with how clang prints its internal commands with
-### and -v.
When linking with -verbose, we get log messages from the actual
linking written to stderr. By printing the command to the same stream,
we make sure they appear in a sensible chronological order.

Pass the original argv[0] to the coff linker, as the coff linker uses
the basename of argv[0] as the log prefix.
This makes error messages to be printed with a "ld.lld:" prefix
instead of "lld-link:". The current "lld-link:" prefix can be confusing
to users, as they're invoking the MinGW linker (and might not even have
a lld-link executable).
Keep the first argument as lld-link when printing the command line, to
make it an actually reproducible standalone command.

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.

Add a simple forwarding option in the MinGW frontend, and implement
the private -wrap option in the COFF linker.
The feature in lld-link isn't gated by the -lldmingw option, but
the option is left as a private, undocumented option primarily
used by the MinGW driver.
The implementation is significantly based on the support for --wrap
in the ELF linker, but many small nuance details are different
between the ELF and COFF linkers, ending up with more than a few
implementation differences.

If a version is specified both with --{major,minor}-subsystem-version and

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.

GNU ld looks for a number of other patterns than just lib<name>.dll.a
and lib<name>.a.
GNU ld does support linking directly against a DLL without using an
import library. If that's the only match for a -l argument, point out
that the user needs to use an import library, instead of leaving the
user with a puzzling message about the -l argument not being found
at all.
Also convert an existing case of fatal() into error().

With GNU tools, delayload is handled completely differently. (One

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.
