clang fails to pickup/supply startfiles to ld |

Hi all,
Our clang toolchain seems to be quite broken at this time. In particular, it
fails to call `ld` in the right way such that the startfiles are picked up:

I believe this is because we have crt1.o, crti.o, and limb.so in the output of
our glibc package, which clang seems unaware of.
I don't know exactly how to fix this, but I did some digging in the clang
codebase (cfe-6.0.1 to be exact), and found that the crt1.o, crti.o arguments
are added in lib/Driver/ToolChains/Gnu.cpp.
These arguments are constructed using something like
Args.MakeArgString(ToolChain.GetFilePath("crti.o")), which really calls
Driver::GetFilePath in lib/Driver/Driver.cpp under the hood. Meaning that we
just need to make Driver::GetFilePath aware of our glibc path and return the
correct full path to crt1.o and crti.o.
If anyone can help out here it would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Carl Dong
