I've been thinking about how easy it would be to integrate lld into the main llvm repo:

1. Preserve history with: svnadmin load --parent-dir tools/lld . < lld.dump
2. Move lld's target-specific libraries up to lib/Target, and remaining libraries up to lib.
3. Move everything from the lld namespace to the llvm namespace.

But would it be valuable? I'd think that non-C, llvm-based compilers like GHC or Rust would have the most to gain. Anybody else see value in it? Maybe those that maintain the Target directories?

In your response, let's please avoid discussion about coding conventions and sanitizer builds. Assume that's all resolved before this integration is considered.

Thanks, Greg
