Odd. On most Unix systems, $Config{ld} = 'cc'. Calling ld directly is
usually tricky and usually results in missing things (such as crt0).
However, sometimes, on some systems, one needs to call ld directly (such
as building a shared library).
For perl5, the main makefile calls (essentially)
$(CC) -o perl
while the parrot Makefile calls
$(LD) -o test_main
I tend to think parrot's wrong here, but there might have been a good
reason for doing that way that I am unaware of.
