That sounds awkward for everyone else, no? It slows down 'configure' and=20
might run afoul of ".lib" files present for some other purpose.

Can you work around the problem by writing a script wrapper around the=20

Or file a bug report with clang-cl? It seems odd that it'd support other=20
options with leading minus, but not -l.
