Curiously:

$ clang-9 -fuse-ld=lld -o hello hello.c
$ ./hello
Hello!
$ readelf --string-dump .comment hello
String dump of section '.comment':
  [     0]  Linker: LLD 9.0.0

Why is it a problem if I give the explicit linker with version? I had
rather suspected that it would use some other default lld on my system
which is why I was hypercorrecting…
