ld-version.sh checks the output from $(LD) --version, but it has a problem on some locales.
For example, in Italian: $ LC_MESSAGES=it_IT.UTF-8 ld --version | head -n 1 ld di GNU (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.35.2 This makes ld-version.sh fail because it expects "GNU ld" for the BFD linker case. Add LC_ALL=C to override the user's locale. BTW, setting LC_MESSAGES=C (or LANG=C) is not enough because it is ineffective if LC_ALL is set on the user's environment.
