Use lld to replace ld linker in OS X Xcode

I am trying to do some hacking (I need to run the linker on a device to link some object files stored there) during the linking stage of Xcode on my ios app project. My first thought is to use the open-source lld linker to replace the native ld linker. I tried to replace ld with lld in the default xcode toolchain, and sent the same arguments to lld, but unfortunately many arguments are not recognized. If I remove these arguments, I get errors like:

Assertion failed : (dylib.file), function exports, file / var / root / Desktop / llvm / tools / lld / lib / ReaderWriter / MachO / File.h, line 302.

I think it's because lld maybe not a direct replacement for ld. Then I am thinking is it possible to first link multiple object files into a single object file with lld (and do the hacking during this step) using -r option and then do the full link with ld?

So, my question is, is that possible to replace mac ld with lld? If not possible to fully replace it, is that possible to use lld to generate a single intermediate single object file and then input it to ld?

Thanks so much!
