1) Build clang with GCC-4.9.2, when compling other application s with clang/clang++, the default linker is ld, can I replace it with other linker tool， if we can, how to do it? I.E. can we use collect2 instead? 2) how to specify the path, if we do not use the default vertion GCC? Best Regards!

[LLVMdev] [cfe-dev] How to change the linker of clang
That's what I used to do but each Ubuntu update would revert the symlink. That's when I found about -fuse-ld=gold, I'd expect it to work with other linkers as well.

The -B option tells clang where to look for the linker. So you could try: clang -B /path/to/other/linker/ ...

For #1: Consider also the -B option to specify a path prefix to consult for compiler-related sub-programs (e.g., GNU binutils) if the executables / symlinks etc. have similar names.
