Looking at the ./configure for musl (which is not based on autoconf
according to the docs), there is no mention of LD. Setting LD for
./configure and/or the call to make still results in the error.

Who calls the linker? The compiler or make? Shouldn't clang know where it's
linker is? How to tell clang which linker to use?
