That alone won't cut it, you'll also need the libraries. I'm somewhat reluctant to do this, because upstream doesn't offer a liblld interface, there are just internal component libraries. They aren't really meant to be consumed outside of lld itself.

I've had a brief look at the Zig compiler, the only use of lld libraries that I can find is in src/zig_llvm.cpp:

        case ZigLLVM_COFF:
            return lld::coff::link(array_ref_args, false, diag_stdout, diag_stderr);

        case ZigLLVM_ELF:
            return lld::elf::link(array_ref_args, false, diag_stdout, diag_stderr);

        case ZigLLVM_MachO:
            return lld::mach_o::link(array_ref_args, false, diag_stdout, diag_stderr);

        case ZigLLVM_Wasm:
            return lld::wasm::link(array_ref_args, false, diag_stdout, diag_stderr);

That's essentially equivalent to invoking one of the lld binaries with array_ref_args as arguments. (COFF is lld-link, ELF is ld.lld, MachO is ld64.lld and Wasm is wasm-ld.)

I'll try contacting the author about this, maybe he can explain why he used the libraries.
