                           ^^^^^^ That path name is your problem,
already. There should'nt usually be a directory bin_2 below your DJGPP
installation directory, and most definitely, ld.exe shouldn't be
sitting in it.

Actually, they were not maintained unharmed. You used an unzipper that
tried to be clever by not letting you write files into already
existing directories. Delete the whole DJGPP tree, switch off that
option in your unzipper and unpack the stuff from scratch.
