Sorry I missed this e-mail. I tried to provide more context in the 
Github pull request. Can we please continue the discussion there?

In a nutshell Samuel's observation is correct, we need to be able 
to use LLVM tools instead of ld or CROSS_PREFIXed which are GNU 
tools.

This has been a silent problem (mixed GNU/LLVM toolchain usage) 
for many years in ChromiumOS and Gentoo and we'd like to start 
using consistent toolchain usage to discourage silently mixing GNU 
& LLVM.

Hope it makes more sense now,
Adrian
