Note the "/usr/local/bin/aarch64-unknown-freebsd14.0-ld" path
for ld.


I've an example where this usage leads to:

/usr/local/bin/aarch64-unknown-freebsd14.0-ld: /usr/bin/../lib/LLVMgold.so: error loading 
plugin: Cannot open "/usr/bin/../lib/LLVMgold.so"
clang++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see 
invocation)

This is the documented behaviour for clang when cross-compiling. You can specify a target in one of two ways with clang:

 - Via the -target flag.
 - By invoking clang with a symlink named {target}-clang[++]

Clang will look for all of the tools in your path (or in the tree specified with -B if you provide an alternative location for tools). If clang finds {target}-{tool name} then it will invoke this in preference to {tool name}. This avoids situations where, for example, your system ld is BFD ld (or any other linker that doesn't support cross-linking) and you are cross compiling.

In general, if you are cross building anything and not specifying --sysroot (to tell it where to find headers and libraries for the target) and -B (to tell it where to find tools) then you are probably doing something wrong.
