+Clang attempts to guess file names based on the OS and distro (yes!),
+but unfortunately, that doesn't work for us.
+
+This patch makes it easy to insert libc's $libdir so that Clang passes the
+correct absolute file name of crt1.o etc. to 'ld'.  It also disables all
+the distro-specific stuff and removes the hard-coded FHS directory names
+to make sure Clang also works on non-GuixSD systems.
