That's a singular case that can be handled by passing in LD=ld.bfd
if we can't find a solution with lld.

Once we get over the Mesa blocker, I need to talk sthen@ into doing
an i386 bulk build with lld. I expect some additional fallout
compared to amd64 due to crufty non-PIC asm code, but should anything
turn up that can't be made to work with lld, it will likely be a
candidate for deletion.

I don't exactly forsee a use for USE_LLD on non-x86 either.
