     Sorry, I stand corrected....it's early.

       What does not matter? That which ld comes up with /bin/ld ?

        I modified root's PATH to ensure /usr/bin was first...which ld 
now result in /usr/bin/ld....
but   grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg as root still generates syntax
errors in the output file.

With every new kernel grubby complains it could not find a usable template.
