What distro are you on?

You may have to install the gold linker, e.g.

apt-get install binutils-gold

on Ubuntu.

[richardweinberger]

Installing gold did the trick, thanks!
I'm on OpenSUSE Leap.

do you solute this question? I also meet it

[milantracy]

@baibai841 you may want to try #26 (comment) to install gold linker.

let me know if that works for you. Otherwise, can you create a new issue to let us know how to reproduce it?
