<pre>$ clang-11 -fuse-ld=xxx example.c
clang: error: invalid linker name in argument '-fuse-ld=xxx'
$ clang-11 -fuse-ld=lld example.c
clang: error: invalid linker name in argument '-fuse-ld=lld'
I think clang should say "unknown linker" for the first and "linker not
installed" for the second. Otherwise it's hard to tell if you just made a typo.</pre>
