[LinuxBIOS] Qemu compile for LinuxBIOSV2

[Marc Karasek]

I did a man on ld and it says this about the build-id option


       --build-id
       --build-id=style
           Request creation of ".note.gnu.build-id" ELF note section.  
The contents of the note are
           unique bits identifying this linked file.  style can be 
"uuid" to use 128  random  bits,
           "sha1"  to  use a 160-bit SHA1 hash on the normative parts of 
the output contents, "md5"
           to use  a  128-bit  MD5  hash  on  the  normative  parts  of  
the  output  contents,  or
           "0xhexstring" to use a chosen bit string specified as an even 
number of hexadecimal dig-
           its ("-" and ":" characters between digit pairs are  
ignored).   If  style  is  omitted,
           "sha1" is used.

           The "md5" and "sha1" styles produces an identifier that is 
always the same in an identi-
           cal output file, but will be unique among all nonidentical  
output  files.   It  is  not
           intended  to  be  compared  as a checksum for the file’s 
contents.  A linked file may be
           changed later by other tools, but the build  ID  bit  string  
identifying  the  original
           linked file does not change.

           Passing  "none"  for style disables the setting from any 
"--build-id" options earlier on
           the command line.

Looks to me like the none option does not turn it off but only clears 
any prior options set on the command line.

Maybe this is a bug in ld in terms of it always being on and you not 
having to explicitly setting it to turn it on.
