...to control the invocation of linker. In my opinion, it is not necessary to carry forward LDFLAGS unless you want to control specific parts of the linker. In my case, I have a cross compiler for ARM and I usually compile the code with Clang –sysroot=<path_to_sysroot> --gcc-toolchain=<path_to_toolchain> -target=<triple> file.c Where I pass “–sysroot=<path_to_sysroot> --gcc-toolchain=<path_to_toolchain> -target=<triple>” as CMAKE_C_FLAGS :) With out –gcc-toolchain, clang cannot find the linker and picks the system linker which is usually /usr/bin/ld on a linux system....

Hi Rafael, I looked at the code which you pushed a while ago to check for the gold linker. Code below: execute_process( COMMAND ${CMAKE_C_COMPILER} -Wl,--version OUTPUT_VARIABLE stdout ERROR_QUIET) if("${stdout}" MATCHES "GNU gold") set(LLVM_LINKER_IS_GOLD ON) endif() I was trying to build runtime libraries (compiler-rt)
