ld is a Linux program, so unless you're deving under Linux you won't have it. If you're using Windows (which I assume from the list of tools you gave), then NASM and TASM come with tools to do their own linking or you could use the copy of ld that should have come with Cygwin (presumably that's how you got hold of GCC).

Please visit the FAQ pages Cygwin and GCC Cross-Compiler.

ld is part of binutils; if you have a working GCC setup, you also have a working ld.
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.

A windows version of ld comes with DJGPP. I use it for linking my OS, but I don't have binutils.

DJGPP is actually for DOS, MinGW is for Windows. Cygwin is as well but none of these work particularly well for anything other than Windows Apps.

DJGPP works fine for compiling my OS.

I was able to cross-compile gcc and binutils on Cygwin, and it works fine...
Top three reasons why my OS project died:
  1. Too much overtime at work
  2. Got married
  3. My brain got stuck in an infinite loop while trying to design the memory manager
Don't let this happen to you!

I was referring to the included compiler, obviously a cross compiler isn't included :) (That is my current setup), or obviously, if you intend to use PE as your executable format of choice (I personally don't like the "thunks" linking concept but to each their own)
