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

[Marc Karasek]

Here is the patch file that should create a Makefile.distro in the 
target directory and then include this file as part of the make 
process.  It checks for the buildid option for ld using awk in 
buildtarget script.  Then sets the appropriate flag in the file.

I do not check to see if the Makefile.distro is "current".  It just 
checks to see if one is present or not.

Marc, did you see my earlier patch that fixed this problem?

I submitted it almost two weeks ago.

You patch has a larger footprint and I would like you to look at mine.
It is waiting on an ACK from *someone* but I think it would solve your
problem.

I think here in the US everyone is still on vacation, so we should
wait until next week to resolve this.

thanks

ron

Sorry Ron I must have missed that one??? Could you re-attach it?

Thanks - Joe

Excellent work Marc. I have been waiting for this to test on my new  
AMD Athlon X2 x86_64 Fedora Core 8 Laptop. Unfortunatly, I won't be  
able to try it out until this weekend. If all goes well, you will  
definatly have my ACK:-)

Thanks - Joe
