Which linker do I use for Clang?
If I use Clang or GNU linker (ld) as the linker, I get massive amounts of errors as if I didn't link with the standard library.
g++ $(OBJS) -o $(BINDIR)/obtap
It seems I have to use g++ in order to link my Clang objects.
I was running 'clang' instead of 'clang++', meaning it didn't link the C++ standard library.
Follow-up: it's now 2016, and LLVM has made some steady progress on their own linker. It's called "lld", and the website is here. It works fine to create i386 and x86_64 binaries, while work is ongoing to target other systems.
This should remove the dependency on GNU tools for BSD systems, once it is considered stable enough.
You do not have to use llvm's link editor. I will avoid getting into the technical details, but, in short, you will need to have a typical Unix link editor available to use Clang at this time (read: GNU ld or Sun ld). Even llvm-ld uses the underlying platform's linker to link native binaries.
