Rust error: linking with cc failed: exit status: 1 (with simple hello world program)

I was trying to run a small "hello world" program and received a few errors. This is one of them. I have a new Rust installation with Cargo on FreeBSD14.3.

There a few more errors, but each is about the same as the one above. I am new to Rust. The only "ld" folder I found was: /compat/linux/dev/fd/152854/ld and it was empty except for three files that seemed to not have anything to do with the "unable to find library" errors. I have the GNU compiler collection, cargo, and the Rust language installed.

Any help with this is appreciated much. Thanks.
 
I typed these commands into a terminal and updated the packages.

pkg update -f
pkg upgrade

I typed this afterwards:
freebsd-version -kru

and received:

root@user-ghostbsd:/ # freebsd-version -kru
14.3-RELEASE-p7
14.3-RELEASE-p7
14.3-RELEASE-p7
root@user-ghostbsd:/ #

I followed the Google link you sent. The Google files are identical to mine. I followed the instructions and used both "cargo run" and in another terminal window "rustc" like in the directions. The error message was the same for both runs.

error: could not compile `hello_world` (bin "hello_world") due to 1 previous error
root@user-ghostbsd:/home/user/Documents/Rust/hello_world #

I checked into that directory in the error message:

root@user-ghostbsd:/usr/local/bin # cd x86_64-unknown-freebsd14.3-ld
cd: x86_64-unknown-freebsd14.3-ld: Not a directory
root@user-ghostbsd:/usr/local/bin #

It may not mean anything, but this is my path:

root@user-ghostbsd:/ # echo $PATH
/home/user/.cargo/bin:/usr/local/gnat12/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/home/user/bin
root@user-ghostbsd:/ #

I'm still reading about this linking error and have not found anything yet. I have "GhostBSD" since it comes with a desktop. I tried for days to get a desktop on a mainstream version of FreeBSD, but the builds kept failing and I followed the manual. The Git "desktop-installer" did not work either. I'll be updating my FreeBSD version to 15 on the 16th of January when it comes available for GhostBSD. There is supposed to be a well funded FreeBSD laptop project that might make things easier to install, but it will take time for that to get completed.

Thanks for your time with this.
