In several scenarios, configure tests assume it's safe to use
"-Wl,-Ttext,<address>", but starting with ld.lld-21, blindly using that
flag may result in configure-test failures due to ld.lld failing to
link. The failure is because ld.lld-21 no longer allows the specified
address is less than the base address.
However, ld.lld-21+ and ld.bfd-2.44+ both provide support for the
--image-base flag making it preferable over the older -Ttext flag.

In GNU ld and ld.lld, -d is used with -r to allocate space to COMMON symbols.
This behavior is presumably to work around legacy projects which inspect
relocatable output by themselves and do not handle COMMON symbols. The GRUB
does not do this.
See https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/53660
-d is quite useless and ld.lld 15.0.0 will make -d no-op.
COMMON symbols have special symbol resolution semantics which can cause surprise
(see https://maskray.me/blog/2022-02-06-all-about-common-symbols). GCC<10 and
Clang<11 defaulted to -fcommon. Just use -fno-common to avoid COMMON symbols.

It works only on UEFI platforms but can be quite easily extended to
others architectures and platforms if needed.

We don't use lgcc_s but missing lgcc_s or another library cause test to fail.
So use -nostdlib.
We need to use -Werror to avoid warning-generated case to be accepted.
Clang uses -nopie rather than -no-pie. Check both and use whichever one works.
Additionally android clang passes -pie to the linker even though it doesn't
define __PIE__. So if compilation without no-pie logic fails add -nopie/-no-pie
even if __PIE__ is not defined.
When Grub is compile with gcc 6.1 that have --enable-defult-pie set.
It fail with.

Check that compiler supports -no-pie and add it to linker flags.
At least on Windows 2003 using "ln -s dir1 dir2" in msys shell succeeds,
but results in what looks like hard link. Subsequent "rm -f dir2" (e.g.
during second config.status invocation) fails. Check that we also can
remove link to directory.
Make it more clear in message that we are checking "ln -s".
