I can't help getting the impression that it's not the linker belonging to the compiler suite that's being called here, but rather some Windows port of the Unix command 'link'  - at least, if I type the respective command on my Debian box, I get a rather similarly looking output: 

$ link -out:...
link: invalid option -- o
Try `link --help' for more information.

I wouldn't be too surprised, if you got 

$ link --help  
Usage: link FILE1 FILE2
  or:  link OPTION
Call the link function to create a link named FILE2 to an existing FIL
+E1.

      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit

if you typed link --help  :)

In that case, make sure this command is no longer found along the search path, while trying to build stuff...   Just a thought.
