================================================================= Package Settings ================================================================= sys-devel/binutils-config-5.1-r1::gentoo was built with the following: USE="" ABI_X86="(64)"
Today sys-devel/binutils-config is designed to manage linkers installed by sys-devel/binutils and nothing else. binutils-config basically links "${EPREFIX}"/usr/${HOST}/${TARGET}/binutils-bin/${VER}/ to "${EPREFIX}"/usr/libexec/gcc/${TARGET}/ sys-devel/lld uses different path. To help your use case I think it is reasonable to allow absolute path as a linker somewhere here: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/sys-devel/binutils-config/files/binutils-config-5.1#n353
Created attachment 593334 [details, diff] ld.lld legal if supplied as full path
This patch is an ugly hack and untested, but at least it bumps the ticket.
Another alternative is to drop --linker support from binutils-config as it never survives binutils upgrade. And instead suggest users to use CFLAGS/LDFLAGS+=-fuse-ld=lld.

[1.] should be preferred.
