-The Cargo configuration snippet above can be simplified to the following:
+where `/path/to/mold` is an absolute path to `mold` exectuable. In the
+above example, we use `clang` as a linker driver as it can always take
+the `-fuse-ldd` option. If your GCC is recent enough to recognize the
+option, you may be able to remove the `linker = "clang"` line.
 
 ```toml

 If you are using macOS, you can modify `config.toml` in a similar manner.
 Here is an example with `mold` installed via [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).
