+Subject: [PATCH] Prefer response files over linker scripts for mingw tools
+
+The GCC/binutils tools support response files just fine, while
+lld (impersonating GNU ld) only supports response files, not
+linker scripts. Using a linker script as input just to pass a
+list of files is overkill for cases when a response file is enough.
