digitalmars.D.ldc - collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld'

I just installed ldc on open suse[1] but when I went to compile I 
get this error:


collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld'
compilation terminated.
Error: /usr/bin/cc failed with status: 1


the command:

whereis ld


return


ld: /usr/bin/ld /usr/bin/ld.bfd /usr/share/man/man1/ld.1.gz 

/usr/share/info/ld.info.gz




So at least the terminal can find it in the PATH variable. How 
can I fix this for ldc?

[1]: with this script curl -fsS https://dlang.org/install.sh | 
bash -s ldc

fixed with

sudo zypper install binutils-gold

for some reason reinstall binutils didn't work but install 
binutils-gold put ld somewhere where ldc2 could find

If you compile with `-v`, you'll see that LDC calls `cc` for 
linking, and passes -fuse-ld=gold to cc on Linux, forcing the use 
of ld.gold. You can prevent this by passing `-linker=` (empty) to 
LDC, such that the default linker is used by `cc`.

cheers,
