configure: no acceptable ld found in $PATH

Sometimes, when porting POSIX software to Minix, ./configure breaks because it didn’t find the ld command.

The Minix toolchain doesn’t have a ld per se. But most of the times, there is not any special linking involved so Minix ACK-based C compiler is just fine for these tasks.

My solution: make a link to cc called ld and put it on /usr/bin.

It works!
