Broken toolchain -- any ideas?

[Owen Marshall]

Hello everyone.

I am using Ubuntu Linux (Hoary), gcc-3.3.5.

Trying to compile a "Hello World" application, I get this:
collect2: cannot find `ld'

PATH includes /usr/bin, which houses ld. 

A user on Freenode's #gcc channel said my toolchain is probably
broken. I haven't removed any files that should affect it, nor have I
tried to install new copies of gcc, either from source or in binary
form.

Any thoughts on fixing this?

Thank you,
Owen Marshall
