[SOLVED] Broken linker, GCC 14.2.1 can't even compile "Hello world!"

The problem started with trying to build the gobuster package from its Git repo since it didn't seem to want to install using an AUR helper or from the PKGBUILD. I seem to be able to configure packages just fine, but every time I go to build anything (test program provided), I am thrown the following error by my linker:

gcc test.cpp 
ld: unknown option: -plugin
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Anyone have any idea what's going on here?

Edit to add: I have in the past installed the osxcross toolchain to cross-compile for Mac, but have removed it from my system at this point in time if that makes a difference with my problem

The one is /usr/local is causing your trouble...

Yeah not sure how I ended up with an ld binary in /usr/local. Looks like removing it fixed the issue since it wasn't owned by any other packages
