[llvm-dev] Using LLD to link against third-party libraries? How?

If you want to bootstrap clang and lld using itself, then you should pass
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=path/to/clang-cl.exe
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=path/to/clang-cl.exe
-DCMAKE_LINKER=path/to/lld-link.exe.

Note the clang-cl.exe.  ***Not*** clang.exe or clang++.exe.
