Target and host environment are both amd64.
Thanks for your help. Not necessarily one person has to respond, anyone can
respond. I can also keep tinkering with it.


It seems that the X prefix should be used exclusively for base system (and
kernel), because most ports build with AS, AR, LD, NM, OBJECTDUMP, RANLIB, and
STRINGS set to llvm from ports.

 AS=        /usr/local/bin/llvm-as50
 AR=        /usr/local/bin/llvm-ar50
 LD=        /usr/local/bin/lld-link50 # /usr/local/llvm50/bin/ld.lld
 NM=        /usr/local/bin/llvm-nm50
 OBJECTDUMP=/usr/local/bin/llvm-objdump50
 RANLIB=    /usr/local/bin/llvm-ranlib50
 STRINGS=   /usr/local/bin/llvm-strings50
....
 XLD=       /usr/local/llvm50/bin/ld.lld


I will switch over to llvm40 than llvm50, because it is more widely used. Both
have behaved similarly with these settings.
