Not true anymore, I've updated the repository and article to work with 2017. Visual Studio 2017 doesn't require the -fms-compatibility flags anymore, in fact, it refuses to compile if you specify them. Since I was expecting these to be required I found no way to compile them.

I wasn't aware of this, I know Rui the COFF owner in lld puts in a lot of effort into lld for chrome link times. Maybe he just uses it as a benchmark then :D

I actually caused a regression in migrating def code from lld to llvm with symbol mangling because we were missing a test case for this specific type of mangling and within hours it ended up on a chromium bug tracker and was fixed also within hours by Reid another googler on LLVM.
