I'd like to make LLD embed version information so that we can determine if an executable was created by LLD and if that's the case which version of LLD. ld.bfd doesn't seem to embed any information, so we cannot tell whether an executable was linked by ld.bfd or not easily. ld.gold embeds a string "GNU gold <version>" as ".note.gnu.gold-version" section
