Linker Error : gcc

Question

I am getting this error every time, while compiling programs, configuring and installing
some things like binutils, textinfo, etc..

 /usr/local/bin/ld:         


        

Answer 1

If you were attempting to install a version of binutils that should work alike the one found in /usr/bin, you should know that

• gcc invokes ld with a --sysroot=/ option.
• ld of binutils built from source with the default options rejects a --sysroot option.
• A --sysroot option will only be accepted by ld if binutils was configured with option --with-sysroot.

So, to cover this use-case, configure binutils with option --with-sysroot=/.
