Minimial Replication of Failure to build CUDA project with mold linker

Replication Instructions

1. Clone project, open in vscode, and run in devcontainer. This will ensure clean CUDA environmend and that appropriate cmake's etc are installed
2. run mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. -DCMAKE_LINKER_TYPE=MOLD
3. Output will be:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.29/Modules/CMakeTestCXXCompiler.cmake:73 (message):
  The C++ compiler

    "/usr/bin/c++"

  is not able to compile a simple test program.

  It fails with the following output:

  CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project.

  CMakeLists.txt:2 (project)

Expected behaviour

1. that the project configures correctly. This can be observed by running: cmake .. (without the -DCMAKE_LINKER_TYPE)
