SymLink ld.lld -> ld.lld-9

See original GitHub issue

I would like to have a SymLink in bin-dir:

cd /path/to/install/bin

PRG_SUFFIX_VER="9"

$ ln -sf ld.lld ld.lld-$PRG_SUFFIX_VER

If you specify -fuse-ld=lld but don’t use -Bprefix, clang will locate x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld.lld (if the default target triple is x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) and ld.lld in clang -print-search-dirs, then $PATH.

clang-9 will not magically locate ld.lld-9. If you really want to locate ld.lld-9, use -fuse-ld=lld-9
