In that case the 'gcc -print-search-dirs' will help, the "programs" search path shows quite many built-in search directories where that another ld could be put and it being found before the native one, usually in '/usr/bin'. But there are also options/switches like '-B' to point to some "use this time" linker....
thanks for the reply i could not understand the last line can you please eloborate , yes i do understand ld will search the path , my question is how to override that and point to a different linker at link time. Satya
