This is where lld is not 100% compatible with GNU ld, but I'd think that's not a bad thing. I'd like to make lld agnostics of host OS so that the linker works exactly in the same way on any operating systems, which makes cross linking much easier to do. So, both a run-time detection of a host OS or a configure-time customization are I think undesirable.
