Rainer Orth f59bec7acb [clang][Driver] Default to /usr/bin/ld on Solaris
`clang` currently requires the native linker on Solaris:

  - It passes `-C` to `ld` which GNU `ld` doesn't understand.

  - To use `gld`, one needs to pass the correct `-m EMU` option to select
    the right emulation.  Solaris `ld` cannot handle that option.

So far I've worked around this by passing `-DCLANG_DEFAULT_LINKER=/usr/bin/ld`
to `cmake`.  However, if someone forgets this, it depends on the user's
`PATH` whether or not `clang` finds the correct linker, which doesn't make
for a good user experience.

While it would be nice to detect the linker flavor at runtime, this is more
involved.  Instead, this patch defaults to `/usr/bin/ld` on Solaris.  This
doesn't work on its own, however: a link fails with

  clang-12: error: unable to execute command: Executable "x86_64-pc-solaris2.11-/usr/bin/ld" doesn't exist!

I avoid this by leaving absolute paths alone in `ToolChain::GetLinkerPath`.

Tested on `amd64-pc-solaris2.11`, `sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11`, and
`x86_64-pc-linux-gnu`.

===============================
 lit - A Software Testing Tool
===============================

lit is a portable tool for executing LLVM and Clang style test suites,
summarizing their results, and providing indication of failures. lit is designed
to be a lightweight testing tool with as simple a user interface as possible.

=====================
 Contributing to lit
=====================

Please browse the Test Suite > lit category in LLVM's Bugzilla for ideas on
what to work on.

Before submitting patches, run the test suite to ensure nothing has regressed:

    # From within your LLVM source directory.
    utils/lit/lit.py \
        --path /path/to/your/llvm/build/bin \
        utils/lit/tests

Note that lit's tests depend on 'not' and 'FileCheck', LLVM utilities.
You will need to have built LLVM tools in order to run lit's test suite
successfully.

You'll also want to confirm that lit continues to work when testing LLVM.
Follow the instructions in http://llvm.org/docs/TestingGuide.html to run the
regression test suite:

    make check-llvm

And be sure to run the llvm-lit wrapper script as well:

    /path/to/your/llvm/build/bin/llvm-lit utils/lit/tests

Finally, make sure lit works when installed via setuptools:

    python utils/lit/setup.py install
    lit --path /path/to/your/llvm/build/bin utils/lit/tests
