No it's not a symbolic link. ld does not exist in /usr/bin. If I
do ls /usr/bin/ld it says ls: /usr/bin/ld: No such file or directory,
which is what I would expect since it's not there. If I type just ld from
any directory I get bash: /usr/bin/ld: No such file or directory. If I
type 'which ld' it shows /usr/bin/ld, but it's not there.
Maybe I should put a symbolic link from /usr/bin/ld to /usr/local/bin/ld
or run configure again with --prefix /usr/bin.
