The a.out was generate by `$LINKER -Wl,-v 2>&1 | $HEAD -n 1`, shows as below. This PR  force use of lld when toolchain type is clang. Change has been verified locally.

Marked as reviewed by ihse (Reviewer).

I think the fix looks good now, but the bug title do no longer match what this is actually about. I updated the title in JBS, but I am not allowed to change the PR title. The easiest way for you to fix this is to just rename the PR to `8352481` and then Skara bots will automatically put in the JBS title.
