man src.conf (from -r315914 ) reports:
WITH_LLD_IS_LD
Set to use LLVM's LLD as the system linker, instead of GNU
binutils ld.
This is a default setting on arm64/aarch64. When set, these
options are also in effect:
WITHOUT_SYSTEM_COMPILER (unless WITH_SYSTEM_COMPILER is set
explicitly)
I'm curious about:
A) Why there is a bias to avoid the system compiler?
and by contrast:
B) What sort of context justifies explicitly setting
WITH_SYSTEM_COMPILER when WITH_LLD_IS_LD is in use?
