<pre>Despite a directory configuration of:
~/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/
~/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/
~/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld
~/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/gcc
~/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/usr -> .
~/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/
~/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/gcc/
~/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/
~/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/5 -> ../../../bin
Clang absolutely refuses to invoke ~/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld as the
linker, instead using /usr/bin/ld. Setting --sysroot and -B do not help.
Tested with `clang --gcc-toolchain=/Users/alex/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`,
`clang --gcc-toolchain=/Users/alex/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin`, `clang
--gcc-toolchain=/Users/alex/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib`, `clang
--gcc-toolchain=/Users/alex/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/gcc`, `clang
--gcc-toolchain=/Users/alex/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`,
and `clang
--gcc-toolchain=/Users/alex/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/5`.
Why is it so hard to use LLD with clang ?!?!?
Notes: Tested on OSX x86_64 with clang trunk. ~ is /Users/alex.
~/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu also contains myriad headers and libraries as
appropriate for a toolchain. ~/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld is a shell
script that forwards arguments to `lld-gnu -target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`.
~/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/gcc is a shell script that invokes clang.</pre>
