value on L73 is set to the absolute path to `lld-link`
compiler on line L96 is set to only `lld-link`

failing command is:
['lld-link', '/logo', '--version', '-nologo', '-DWIN32', '-D_WINDOWS', '-FC', '-arch:AVX', '-clang:-fasm', '-clang:-fopenmp-simd', '-utf-8', '-Od', '-Ob0', '-GS', '-RTC1', '-MDd', '-Zi', '-IE:/src/AllProjects/build/vcpkg_installed/x64-windows-llvm/include']
which returns some warnings e.g.:
lld-link: warning: ignoring unknown argument '-DWIN32' but also LLD 13.0.0
