[LinuxBIOS] changing how ldscript is made

[Ronald G Minnich]

currently, the default makefile generates this for ldscript.ld
[rminnich@q fallback]$ more ../normal/ldscript.ld
INCLUDE ldoptions
INCLUDE /home/rminnich/src/LinuxBIOSv2/src/arch/i386/init/ldscript.lb
INCLUDE /home/rminnich/src/LinuxBIOSv2/src//cpu/x86/16bit/entry16.lds
INCLUDE /home/rminnich/src/LinuxBIOSv2/src//cpu/x86/32bit/entry32.lds
INCLUDE /home/rminnich/src/LinuxBIOSv2/src//cpu/x86/32bit/reset32.lds
INCLUDE /home/rminnich/src/LinuxBIOSv2/src//arch/i386/lib/id.lds

I find this intensely annoying, and there is no reason for it. I can 
just as easily have the makefile do the include via 'cat', and then you 
can see what the ldscript actually looks like. All the dependencies 
still work fine as well. I just tested this here.

Any objection if I change the makefile so that you get something like this:

HAVE_MOVNTI = 0;
CONFIG_USE_INIT = 0;
HAVE_FALLBACK_BOOT = 1;
ROM_IMAGE_SIZE = 0x10000;
PAYLOAD_SIZE = 0x10000;
_ROMBASE = 0xffff0000;
_RESET = 0xffff0000;

.
.
.
TARGET(binary)
INPUT(linuxbios_ram.rom)
SECTIONS
{

.
.
.
SECTIONS {
         . = (_ROMBASE + ROM_IMAGE_SIZE - 0x10) - (__id_end - __id_start);
         .id (.): {
                 *(.id)
          }
}

so you can actually see the script?

If not, I'll put this in the issue tracker.

i'm ok, but please add

/* from src/arch/i386/lib/id.lds */

for each including.
