I think we should assume that the libc we link is complete and thus it would just be named "libc.<ext>" and in a sysroot somewhere. Another option is perhaps looking at the rtlib option, but I'd want to see a bit of a writeup there so we can see what we'd be doing.

I missed responding to the "writeup" part earlier. But, I am not sure what I should be writing about. I feel that there is some confusion that this option can be used to switch between libcs. As I said in the earlier reply, the idea is not to provide a way to switch between libcs. Rather, the goal is to provide a way to use LLVM libc along with the system libc with the effect that LLVM libc symbols will be preferred by the linker over the system libc symbols.
