As @semeenai pointed out we absolutly want the behavior of the toolchain file being loaded multiple times. That is the correct way this build should work.

That avoids the need for the `ADDITIONAL_CLANG_BOOTSTRAP_DEPS` variable, which feels a bit hacky to me.

When running `ninja stage2`, I need to insure that the dependancies where built.  `BOOTSTRAP_LLVM_ENABLE_LLD` can be used to add `lld` to the dependency list, but since I'm setting `CLANG_DEFAULT_LINKER=llb`, I don't want clang adding `-fuse-ld`.


Did a quick test and setting BOOTSTRAP_CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE does not work in this case.
