[SOLVED] Linker Error : gcc

Issue

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

 /usr/local/bin/ld: this linker was not configured to use sysroots
 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I want to know clearly about this. When will will come and what is the actual problem, and also how to solve it?

Solution

Try to use gcc with the following option: gcc --sysroot=/usr/local

But, as the others told you in the comments, don't try to mess your system with critical packages such as the binutils, except if you know what you are doing.
