Seems reasonable to me. Unfortunate that there are too many leaky abstractions in between certain parts of rustc and its linker invocation that its not feasible to fix it in a more straightforward way. @bors r+ Thanks! |

Make `-Z gcc-ld=lld` work for Apple targets `-Z gcc-ld=lld` was introduced in rust-lang#85961. It does not work on Macos because lld needs be either named `ld64` or passed `-flavor darwin` as the first two arguments in order to select the Mach-O flavor. Rust invokes cc (=clang) on Macos for linking which calls `ld` as linker binary and not `ld64`, so just creating an `ld64` binary and modifying the search path with `-B` does not work. In order to solve this patch does: * Set the `lld_flavor` for all Apple-derived targets to `LldFlavor::Ld64`. As far as I can see this actually works towards fixing `-Xlinker=rust-lld` as all those targets use the Mach-O object format. * Copy/hardlink rust-lld to the gcc-ld subdirectory as ld64 next to ld. * If `-Z gcc-ld=lld` is used and the target lld flavor is Ld64 add `-fuse-ld=/path/to/ld64` to the linker invocation. Fixes rust-lang#86945.
