EDIT 2015-29-10. II. In fact -arch armv7 instead of -arch arm64 and without lowering optimization, worked perfectly.
EDIT 2015-29-10. I. I tried to add
export CFLAGS="-O1"
export CXXFLAGS="-O1"
before configure, and had the same error, with a different file missing this time :
"/usr/local/cctools-arm64-port/bin/ld" -demangle -dynamic -arch arm64 -iphoneos_version_min 5.0.0 -syslibroot /usr/local/iPhoneOS8.4.sdk -o testcpp /var/tmp/testcpp-4f79ac.o -lstdc++ -lSystem
ld: file not found: N?L
I also tried with -O0 optimization instead of -01, same result.
EDIT 2015-28-10. II. I did this :
./autogen.sh
export CC="clang -arch arm64 -mios-version-min=8.4 -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS8.4.sdk"
export CXX="clang++ -arch arm64 -mios-version-min=8.4 -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS8.4.sdk"
./configure -v --host=arm-apple-darwin11 --prefix=/usr/local/lvm-cross/cctools-arm64-port
unset CC CXX
make && sudo make install
Then I tried a simple hello world on iDevice, with testcpp.cpp containing :
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "oijo" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
compiled with
clang++ -v -isysroot /usr/local/iPhoneOS8.4.sdk -target arm64-apple-darwin11 testcpp.cpp -o testcpp
which gave me :

I also tried without the unset CC CXX, with the same "success"...
EDIT 2015-28-10. I. Using cydia solutions as suggested indeed worked, but I definitely want to build it myself, so I followed the https://github.com/tpoechtrager/cctools-port way. As it is way too boring to get/build libtool for mac os, I switched to a vitual box ubuntu 15.10 64 bits, where I sudo apt-get install'ed the following packages : automake, autogen, libtool, clang-3.7, uuid-dev and llvm-3.7-dev. Then I cd'ed to the cctools directory and did :
./autogen.sh
export CC="clang-3.7 -arch arm64"
export CXX="clang++-3.7 -arch arm64"
./configure --prefix=/home/lvm-ubuntu/Desktop/iPad/cctools-produced/ --host=arm-apple-darwin11
make
(The complete output is in the new following gist.) make produced the following warnings and errors :
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-arch arm64'
../include/foreign/libkern/arm/OSByteOrder.h:11:10: error: redefinition of

uint16_t _OSSwapInt16(uint16_t data)
^
../include/foreign/libkern/i386/_OSByteOrder.h:46:1: note: previous definition
is here
_OSSwapInt16(
^
and analogue errors for _OSSwapInt32 and _OSSwapInt64... I must be for sure doing something wrong.
Initial question.
I succeed in cross-building clang+llvm for iOS8.4 on a jailbroken iPad mini 3 wifi, mainly thanks to the two following questions :
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32808144/how-to-cross-compile-clang-llvm-3-7-0-for-ios8-x-on-ipad-mini-3/
and
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23946851/how-to-cross-compile-clang-llvm-for-ios/
Set all paths etc, and tried a clang++ -v testcpp.cpp -o testcpp where testcpp.cppcontains :
int main()
{
return 0;
}
and got this :
clang++: error: unable to execute command: Executable "ld" doesn't exist!
clang++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
(the whole verbose output is in this gist.)
Obviously I don't have GNU's ld nor any real "remplacement" of it (by llvm-clang), so that I am asking myself : what is my strategy in this case ? (Having no linker, I can't even try to build binutils on my iPad to use its ld).
Precision : I would like the linking to be done behind the scene, so that I could keep doing clang++ -v testcpp.cpp -o testcpp, that is, I don't want to do the linking "manually" myself in several steps. (But a script could be ok, even if I find more elegant to have a real ld replacement...)
Remark : in llvm-clang bin folder I have this :
