Build error: `collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld'`

When trying to compile latest head (75231818302bdf746d79ddf76e241363b9e2b5e8) from source, I'm running into the following error:

          compilation terminated.

It looks like this sub-component attempts to link with lld, which isn't actually installed in the Docker container you are shipping. I figured it might be due to lld being present on the host and perhaps the configure script accidentally somehow propagating that into the container, but uninstalling LLVM on the host doesn't change anything. I'm on Arch with all packages at their latest version and compile using the podman container runtime. Command executed was simply make redist.

Start by reproducing the failure with make redist in the shipped Docker container and inspect the container's build configuration for the missing linker dependency. Confirm whether the Rust media-converter link step requires lld or another ld implementation, then verify that a clean container build completes successfully.
