[PATCH] D115852: Passthrough LLVM_USE_LLD LLVM_USE_LINKER into runtimes

smeenai added a comment.

I don't think this is correct when cross-compiling. For example, if you're cross-compiling for Windows on a Linux host and using gold as your Linux host linker, it doesn't make sense to also use gold for your Windows links. `PASSTHROUGH_PREFIXES` is also annoying because it's added last in the external project invocation (https://github.com/apple/llvm-project/blob/7ca7a2547f00e34f5ec91be776a1d0bbca74b7a9/llvm/cmake/modules/LLVMExternalProjectUtils.cmake#L308-L309), so there's no way to override it. Is there an alternative solution that would work here while not breaking the cross-compilation case?
