I was following the bouncing ball in building an LFS system
from a LFS-CD host system.
In binutils2.20 when I went to run configure as user lfs,
It bailed with a message about
C compiler can't create executable
which was related to can't find 'ld'
There was no problem when running as root.
from the shell I could type ld, and ld was found.
Problem turns out to be two-fold:
the PATH variable had in it /usr/gnu/bin,
which is a non-existent folder.
While bash has no problem, gcc, and/or make seem to
have a cow with that non-existent folder and use that as a lame
excuse to bail with an error rather than continuing the
search for ld through the path
