[Ludovic Courtès]

clang-toolchain > 6 picks crt*.o from /lib or /lib64 on foreign
distros.  Here are runs on a CentOS machine:

Notice ‘/lib/../lib64/crt1.o’ etc. above.

This suggests that ‘clang-11.0-libc-search-path.patch’ & co. aren’t
sufficient any longer.

‘strace’ shows that ‘c++’ goes through sequences like this one:
