Somehow clang decides to prepend target to the linker command:

"i686-pc-windows-msvc-C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual
Studio\\2017\\Community\\VC\\Tools\\MSVC\\14.10.25017\\bin\\HostX86\\x86\\link.exe"

gets called in place of

"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual
Studio\\2017\\Community\\VC\\Tools\\MSVC\\14.10.25017\\bin\\HostX86\\x86\\link.exe"

Clang then complains that the program is not executable. Well, obviously,
it is not. Do you know how to work around this issue?
