            Bug ID: 49814
           Summary: Clang does not distinguish linkers that don't exist
                    from linkers that aren't installed
           Product: clang
           Version: 11.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: Driver

$ 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.
