This does indeed break PGO self-host with lld-link (applied on top of r373200):

  <...>\bin\lld-link.exe /nologo utils\not\CMakeFiles\not.dir\not.cpp.obj 
utils\not\CMakeFiles\not.dir\__\__\resources\windows_version_resource.rc.res 
/out:bin\not.exe /implib:lib\not.lib /pdb:bin\not.pdb /version:0.0 /machine:x64 
-fuse-ld=lld /STACK:10000000 /INCREMENTAL:NO /subsystem:console 
lib\LLVMSupport.lib psapi.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib uuid.lib advapi32.lib 
delayimp.lib -delayload:shell32.dll -delayload:ole32.dll lib\LLVMDemangle.lib 
kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib 
oleaut32.lib uuid.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib /MANIFEST 
/MANIFESTFILE:bin\not.exe.manifest
  lld-link: warning: ignoring unknown argument '-fuse-ld=lld'
  lld-link: error: could not open 'clang_rt.profile-x86_64.lib': no such file 
or directory

So at the very least this change would need that path adding.

I agree with Nico that having to add a path dependent on the LLVM version 
sounds like a pain.

Is it possible for the compiler to embed a /libpath as well as the dependent 
lib? That goes back to having a path embedded, though you could override it if 
required so could be an improvement over things at the moment.

It sounds to me like:

and

are hard to reconcile.

It may be possible to have the Windows installer add the path to LIB 
environment variable but that would rely on having run the installer, and could 
cause problems if you have multiple versions of LLVM around.
