That sounds awkward for everyone else, no? It slows down 'configure' and 
might run afoul of ".lib" files present for some other purpose.

Can you work around the problem by writing a script wrapper around the 
compiler in question?

Or file a bug report with clang-cl? It seems odd that it'd support other 
options with leading minus, but not -l.
