[LinuxBIOS] Patch file for Fedora 8 compile problems

[Marc Karasek]

I have come up with a awk script that could be used in the makefile to 
query the ld version and make a decision based the output to add the 
compile option or not.  I have attached the script and will incorporate 
it into the makefile and send a patch out hopefully today.
