LGTM, a couple of small suggestions.

I recommend changing "indicating its version" to "containing the LLD version string."

The comment for getVersion() says:

// Check LLD_VERSION first for ease of testing.                                                                                                                   // You can get consistent output by using the environment variable.                                                                                               // This is only for testing.

perhaps worth adding. "This option is useful to eliminate differences in the binary caused by LLD version number differences."
