[LinuxBIOS] Patch file for ld/fedora 8 issue as promised...

[Marc Karasek]

I have tested it on my fedora 8 machine.  It would be nice to have it 
testd on a different disto that has a older ld version.  Just as a 
sanity check.


I think I can do the commit from here.  I have not used svn before but 
it seems to be pretty easy. 
Basically, I should do a fresh checkout from tip, then apply the patch 
and do a commit from there, right?

No problem on the wait.  I always say i it is worth doing it is worth 
doing right the first time!
