I assume you mean the dynamic linker. Try running ldd, e.g. on some common executable:

  ldd /bin/sh

(you could also guess what dynamic linker you use by running cat /proc/self/maps)

The ordinary linker, the one you use to build programs from objects, is usually called thru the compiler: you use gcc both for compiling and for linking. (in fact, gcc is just a driving program to start cc1 - the real compiler, or ld or collect2 - the linkers; use gcc -v to find out which commands are started).
