compiler: default to Elf2 instead of LLD on sparc64
`Elf2` is now a more complete linker implementation than LLD when
targeting sparc64 on ELF. For instance, LLD is essentially incapable of
building code which links against glibc on `sparc64-linux`, while `Elf2`
can handle that just fine.2 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
