This will invalidate assumptions about command lines that are passed on to the linker. We should use -fuse-ld=lld to force clang to always pick lld as the linker, so we can be sure that the command lines will work.

@jianglizhou Did you verify that this works on your system? Apparently your environment and mine has differed, since you have been able to build with clang without this patch. If you did not, I'd appreciate if you could take it for a spin, so I know I won't break anything in environments similar to your.
