Unfortunately, when the configuration system was created, it was
inconceivable that ld(1) wouldn't work -- so there's no overriding 
environment variable that you can set.  Instead of modifying the
makefile, I suggest the following:

    1.  Create the symbolic link $HOME/bin/ld to the absolute pathname
        for "cld".

    2.  Add $HOME/bin to the top of your PATH environment variable.

    3.  Execute the command "make".  Remember to redirect standard
        output and standard error to the file "make.log".

    4.  Continue with "make test" and "make install".

    5.  Remove the symbolic link (or not) and redefine PATH.

Please let me know if this helps.
