Thank you for your attention to this.
I am overriding the linker by symlinking it to the folder where my AArch64 binutils linker is placed (I am crosscompiling).
Yes, clang++ invokes the linker in my case. I tried to pass -flavor using -Xlinker and -Wl options. -flavor never comes first in the linker's command line.

I think it's possible to write a script as you are suggesting, but I personally don't like this idea much. Lld is claimed to be compatible with existing linker options. In fact, I am not able to merely substitute my linker with lld and add -favor for it without the need to write a script to move the options around.
