            Bug ID: 20975
           Summary: getFlavor: -flavor/-core switches should have higher
                    priority than linker name
           Product: lld
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: All Bugs
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org

    Classification: Unclassified

If lld is symlinked and link name is "ld" or renamed to "ld", the getFlavor
function (UniversalDriver.cpp) decides about flavor to use by the platform lld
was compiled for. However, a user might directly specify the desired flavor by
using the -flavor/-core switches. The switches should have a higher priority.
Lld should check them first and try to guess the flavor only if no
-flavor/-core provided.
