The LLVM linker does not support ELFv1 at all, so BE kernels must be built with ELFv2. The LLD version check was added to be conservative, LLD simply fails to link ELFv1 entirely, effectively requiring LLD >= 15 and ELFv2 for BE builds. Instead remove that restriction until proven otherwise (LLD 14.0 links a booting ELFv2 BE vmlinux for me). The minimum GNU binutils has increased such that ELFv2 is always supported, so remove that check while we're here.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
