#lld - Linker capable of using the LLVM backend for Link Time Optimization
#
#This linker is also able to generate a number of executable output formats,
#as can be expected from an inherent crosscompiler framework like LLVM. This
#is in contrast to using the Microsoft linker (which is the default linker
#when invoking clang on Windows). The Microsoft linker can only produce COFF
#executables (ie not ELF for Linux/FreeBSD etc). When using clang to
#crosscompile hosted under Windows, we want to make sure that we use lld, and
#not the default (Microsoft) linker. This requires the following option to the
#clang compiler:
#
#-fuse-ld=<full path to lld executable>
