+Dead Stripping Duplicate Symbols
+****************************
+ld64 always dead strips before reporting duplicate symbols. By default, LLD does
+the opposite. The behavior exhibited by ld64 is a violation of ODR, but LLD
+maintains compatibility with ld64 by adding the `--dead-strip-duplicates` flag.
+Usage of this flag is discouraged, and this behavior should be fixed in the source.
+However, for sources that are not within the user's control, this will mitigate
+users for adoption.
+
 ``-no_deduplicate`` Flag
 ************************
 - ld64: This turns off ICF (deduplication pass) in the linker.
