/usr/bin/ld is a symlink to ld.lld by default, you should not have 
ld.bfd since binutils was removed from base prior to 13.

This is giving unclean world/userland, poudriere jails perform a full 
installworld/delete-old{,-libs} so if you did your pip install 
procedures in there (as a test) you shouldn't have issues either. Always 
make sure your kernel and userland are in sync.

Slightly unrelated, but if you are running pip against the normally 
pkg(8)-managed site-packages (and not elsewhere like a virtual 
environment), this will soon not be allowed with our Python ports.
