Also, Kees mentions this is an issue for testing multiple different

the suffix for binaries? The primary pain point seems to be Debian's
suffixing scheme; it will suffix GCC, clang, and lld, but not GNU
binutils IIUC.
Right. Though I think auto-detection still makes sense.
If I do:
make CC=clang-12 LLVM=1
it'd be nice if it also used ld.lld-12.
This transformation may be a bit magical.
On Debian, /usr/bin/clang-13 is a symlink to /usr/lib/llvm-13/bin/clang .
Will it be fine for the user to provide correct feasible PATH?

Just curious, what prefixes have you observed in the wild?
For me, where ever I built clang, and "/usr/bin"
