clang -fuse-ld=lld -target x86_64-windows-gnu: of course #pragma comment(lib, "-lws2_32") is silently ignored
i feel like i'm in a fever dream. this is the exact opposite of what i would expect!!

in reply to ✧✦✶✷Catherine✷✶✦✧ • • •oh, i figured it out
clang -target x86_64-windows-msvc puts the comment into a .drectve section.
clang -target x86_64-windows-gnu silently ignores it, presumably because mingw doesn't define anywhere to put it.
clang -target x86_64-linux-gnu puts it into an SHT_LLVM_DEPENDENT_LIBRARIES section because LLVM has defined that this is where it goes
