Hi Joel,

Indeed, LLD is not configured to be used by default in LLVM-12.0.0-rc1.  You 
need to add -fuse-ld=lld option for it to work.  We’ll fix this in the final 
LLVM-12 release for WoA, which is expected in around 2 weeks.

Thanks for catching this!

c:\Users\tcwg\source\maxim>..\llvm-12.0.0-rc1\bin\clang-cl.exe hello.c
clang-cl: error: unable to execute command: Couldn't execute program 
'C:\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.28.29333\bin\Hostx64\arm64\link.exe': Unknown 
error (0xD8)
clang-cl: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see 
invocation)

c:\Users\tcwg\source\maxim>..\llvm-12.0.0-rc1\bin\clang-cl.exe -fuse-ld=lld 
hello.c

c:\Users\tcwg\source\maxim>hello.exe
Hello

c:\Users\tcwg\source\maxim>..\llvm-12.0.0-rc1\bin\clang.exe -fuse-ld=lld hello.c

c:\Users\tcwg\source\maxim>hello.exe
Hello
