^ it looks like this format was copied from scripts/gcc-version, but
it's kind of curious/cryptic to me for a comment about usage.  Is it
necessary?  A comment in the form:

# Usage: ./scripts/lld-version.sh ld.lld

Would be clearer to me.

This is going to invoke the linker potentially twice if it's LLD.
Would it be nicer to capture the output of `$linker --version`, check
which linker it is, then slice that up via `cut` to get the version?

This version is fine to me, but if you're going to send a v2, that
might be a nice slight cleanup.  Otherwise,

(Please drop those tags if you modify this for v2 and I'll rereview/retest).
