This is needed so that setting LD/XLD is not ignored when linking with $CC instead of directly using $LD. Currently only clang accepts an absolute path for -fuse-ld= (Clang 12+ will add a new --ld-path flag), so we now warn when building with GCC and $LD != "ld" since that might result in the wrong linker being used. We have been setting XLD=/path/to/cheri/ld.lld in CheriBSD for a long time and used a similar version of this patch to avoid linking with /usr/bin/ld. This change is also required when building FreeBSD on an Ubuntu with Clang: In that case we set XCC=/usr/lib/llvm-10/bin/clang and since /usr/lib/llvm-10/bin/ does not contain a "ld" binary the build fails with `clang: error: unable to execute command: Executable "ld" doesn't exist!` unless we pass -fuse-ld=/usr/lib/llvm-10/bin/ld.lld. This change passes -fuse-ld instead of copying ${XLD} to WOLRDTMP/bin/ld since then we would have to ensure that this file does not exist while building the bootstrap tools. The cross-linker might not be compatible with the host linker (e.g. when building on macos: host-linker= Mach-O /usr/bin/ld, cross-linker=LLVM ld.lld).
