I can confirm on Linux with my toolchain:
$ clang -print-libgcc-file-name
/x86_64-pc-linux-musl/lib/clang/7.0.0/lib/linux/libclang_rt.builtins-x86_64.a
$ clang -lclang_rt.builtins-x86_64
/x86_64-pc-linux-musl/bin/ld.lld: error: unable to find library -lclang_rt.builtins-x86_64
clang-7.0: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

The workaround would be then:
$ clang -L/x86_64-pc-linux-musl/lib/clang/7.0.0/lib/linux -lclang_rt.builtins-x86_64

In general case it comes to:
$ LIBGCCPATH="$(clang -print-libgcc-file-name)"
$ LIBGCCDIR="${LIBGCCPATH%/*}"
$ LIBGCCFILE="${LIBGCCPATH##*/lib}"
$ clang -L$LIBGCCDIR -l${LIBGCCFILE%*.a}

As a person who compiles musl with compiler-rt, I want this patch to be merged, because right now I set LIBCC="$(clang -print-libgcc-file-name)" parameter to musl's configure anyway.

Regards,
Dmitry
