Link Issue: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find : No such file or directory

Hi All,

I'm getting an unexpected complaint from LD that it can't find
something. I'm not sure what LD cannot find, even after passing
--verbose.

$ g++ -g3 -O0 sample.cpp -o sample.exe -Wall -Wextra -Wconversion
-fPIE -pie -fstack-protector-all -Wl,-z,noexecstack -Wl,-z,noexecheap
-Wl,-z,relro, -Wl,-z,now
/usr/bin/ld: warning: -z noexecheap ignored.
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find : No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Any help would be appreciated.

Jeff
