0001-Support-setting-default-linker-as-lld-for-clang.patch

Support setting default linker as lld for clang by adding a use flag default-lld. Similar to default-libcxx and default-compiler-rt.

The only reason USE=default-* exists is because it was needed for FreeBSD profiles.  This stuff really belongs in configuration files and not USE flags.
