[llvm-dev] LLD (macOS) usage?

[Don Hinton via llvm-dev]

My case is slightly different in that I only use it for cross compiling
clang from osx to linux, but to work around cmake issues, I have to set
CLANG_DEFAULT_LINKER=lld.  That means it's only really usable when passing
a non-darwin -target, e.g., "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu".

This also means you can't use it for Native tools so you need to pass them
as well.
