It appears that there is a misconfigured CMake file, for gollvm project.

[https://github.com/golang/go/issues/41527](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/41527) - this is my description.

So to be short: there is a confusing warning, not proven by build attempts or release experiments: some linker are reported to no being supported. Even if so - it is not clear what is the case.  
Probably updating CMake configs could have more sense, for supporting lld.

This archive contains generated files, for the of lld linker.
