Thanks; this patchset is much clearer.

However, if we'd go with tweaking the lld option (which is progressing 
fine upstream at https://reviews.llvm.org/D62004), we could get rid of 
patch 1 (the libtool patch) altogether, and get rid of all the changes to 
Makefile.am here, by just adding -Wl,-pdb= to the global LDFLAGS.
