Since LLVM commit 3787ee4, the '-stack-alignment' flag has been dropped [1], leading to the following error message when building a LTO kernel with Clang-13 and LLD-13: ld.lld: error: -plugin-opt=-: ld.lld: Unknown command line argument '-stack-alignment=8'. Try 'ld.lld --help' ld.lld: Did you mean '--stackrealign=8'? It also appears that the '-code-model' flag is not necessary anymore starting with LLVM-9 [2]. Drop '-code-model' and make '-stack-alignment' conditional on LLD < 13.0.0. This is for linux-stable 5.12. Another patch will be submitted for 5.13 shortly (unless there are objections).
