PS11, Line 7: arch,toolchain,xcompile: Use GCC as linker
            : 
            : Code generation when using LTO is not done until after linking, so the
            : compiler must be invoked at all linking stages instead of the linker.
            : Replace $(LD) with GCC, and prefix all linker-specific flags with -Wl so
            : they will be passed to the linker.
GCC is not the only compiler supported by now.

Patchset:

PS11: 
It looks like clang tries to use /usb/bin/ld by default. It should use something like -fuse-ld=$(LD_common).
