Jekyll installation error regardless of sudo Make failed exit code 2

I’m trying to install Jekyll onto a server. I have Ruby installed at 2.7.0, and have Bundler installed as well, I’m using RVM and all of this went well during installation, however I can’t seem to install jekyll when I run gem install jekyll or sudo gem install jekyll on a Cent OS server, the error I get is attached as:

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing jekyll:
	ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Not sure why it’s failing?

Searching for the error message (/usr/bin/ld: unrecognized option '--compress-debug-sections=zlib') gets an SO hit with a suggested workaround that might help:
