I don't have an answer to this. Maybe the LLVM folks have not provided it? Maybe it is available, but not on-path? (LLVM has some sharp edges on PowerPC. I ran into a fair amount of trouble in the past, when I was building LLVM/Compiler-Rt/libc++ for PPC). > compile a kernel with > 'make LLVM=1 HOSTCC=/usr/bin/clang-13 HOSTCXX=/usr/bin/clang++-13 > CC=/usr/bin/clang-13' > where LLVM=1 points to the llvm linker. Without LLVM-1 it seems to use the > binutils. I believe it depends on the builtin makefile rules and what the author of the makefile is doing. You can check the builtin makefile rules with '-p' option: $ make -p | grep -E 'LD|LINK' ... LINK.m = $(OBJC) $(OBJCFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(TARGET_ARCH) LINK.o = $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) $(TARGET_ARCH) LINK.p = $(PC) $(PFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(TARGET_ARCH) LINK.cc = $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(TARGET_ARCH) LD = ld LINK.r = $(FC) $(FFLAGS) $(RFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(TARGET_ARCH) LINK.C = $(LINK.cc) LINK.S = $(CC) $(ASFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(TARGET_MACH) LINK.c = $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(TARGET_ARCH) LINK.s = $(CC) $(ASFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(TARGET_MACH) LINK.cpp = $(LINK.cc) ... If you want to use a different linker, then set the variable LD to that linker. Jeff
