Thanks for merging lld :)

But lld package needs to be at the same version as llvm (currently 9.0.0).
lld package was sent to the mailing list at the time where llvm package was
using 8.0.0.

I'm not sure how it's related but the are some build issues with host-lld package:
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/9a0/9a0534c4206b40963d32494ff9675543e78125d1/build-end.log

I believe we need to bump lld version and add a small comment like for llvm and
clang package.

Best regards,
Romain
