Subject: [patch 11/11] uml: update ld scripts to newer binutils


It seems that linker script for userspace software are quite
toolchain-depending, at least because what we use is a merge between builtin
LD scripts (see strings /usr/bin/ld) and normal kernel linking scripts.

Plus, a number of people are having toolchain-related troubles building UML
(even assertion failures on linking, with Gentoo and Fedora 2).

So, let's try to make UML nicer for binutils.
