It's too late now. Build system code in the wild uses `$CC -print-prog-name=ld` 
and then expects to be able to invoke that program to get the linker that `$CC` 
usually uses.  When `CC=gcc -fuse-ld=foo` that works, but when `CC=clang` it 
doesn't, whether there's a `-fuse-ld=...` in there or just the default in the 
toolchain configuration is something other than `ld`, such as when `ld.lld` is 
the default.

ISTM that GetLinkerPath ought to produce the right name regardless and if it 
doesn't we can fix it to do so.
