clang doesn't understand `-fuse-ld` (at least not the one that comes with the android toolchain, not sure if this statement holds universally)
This seems to be Android toolchain specific.
Upstream clang suppports `-fuse-ld` since 2014: https://github.com/llvm- mirror/clang/commit/bab68c96f15867af6938d9c8f922d59d31351cad
This likely has been a misreading of the error on my side, as noted in https://phabricator.haskell.org/D3351. The LD that comes witht he android toolchain is called <toolchain>-ld or <toolchain>-ld.gold, and both are effectively gold, and there is no tool called just `ld.gold`, there is one called `ld`, but that is ld64, and would be horribly wrong to use. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13541#comment:13 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
