The userprogs infrastructure does not expect clang being used with GNU ld
and in that case uses /usr/bin/ld for linking, not the configured $(LD).
This fallback is problematic as it will break when cross-compiling.
Mixing clang and GNU ld is used for example when building for SPARC64,
as ld.lld is not sufficient; see Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst.

Relax the check around --ld-path so it gets used for all linkers.
