	* Item 1.			* A GNU ld style frontend for the COFF linker has been added for MinGW.
				In MinGW environments, the linker is invoked with GNU ld style parameters;
				which LLD previously only supported when used as an ELF linker. When
				a PE/COFF target is chosen, those parameters are rewritten into the
				lld-link style parameters and the COFF linker is invoked instead.

				* Initial support for the ARM64 architecture has been added.
