It only has got issues with base mingw import libraries that contain symbol aliases (which in llvm-dlltool is implemented via weak symbols, and linking to weak symbols differ a bit between lld and binutils ld). --- README.md | 3 --- 1 file changed, 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index e854402..af6ee9e 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -84,9 +84,6 @@ normal GCC/binutils based MinGW.

Additionally, one may run into other minor differences between GCC and clang.
