There is a lack of documentation on the linking process when developing a Kotlin Native program. No information is present on the linker used in Kotlin 1.5.0 onwards for example. What would happen if someone wants to use a newer linker to resolve GLIBC version issues?

What I currently want is to use the native llvm or clang etc libraries installed on my PC.

I don't want to have to download excessively large dependencies

[napperley]

That is a separate Kotlin Native issue. Have you filed an issue on the K/N dependencies being too large?

LLVM and Clang cannot be any random version, for now it have to be LLVM8, Kotlin 1.6 planned to use LLVM11.
