I wonder -- "-fuse-ld" has some somewhat surprising behavior in how clang ends up discovering the linker. I think that even if clang has a sibling `lld` in the same distribution, "-fuse-ld=lld" will pick "ld.lld" from the $PATH if it's present in there before the directory where clang and lld are installed.
So maybe that "--ld-path" option helps resolve ambiguity by expecting an explicit path instead of a linker name.

fuse-ld still works though.
