The "ld" program in binutils-2.10.1.0.7 and in
binutils-2.10.91.0.2 now requires "--oformat" instead of "-oformat".
This breaks linux-2.4.2-pre3/arch/i386/boot/Makefile. I have attached
the fix below. I am running a kernel built with this updated Makefile.

[root@debian-f5ibh] /usr/src/kernel-sources-2.4.2 # ld -v
GNU ld version 2.9.5 (with BFD 2.9.5.0.37)
[root@debian-f5ibh] /usr/src/kernel-sources-2.4.2 # ld --help
Usage: ld [options] file...
Options:
-a KEYWORD Shared library control for HP/UX compatibility
-A ARCH, --architecture ARCH
...
--noinhibit-exec Create an output file even if errors occur
--oformat TARGET Specify target of output file
-qmagic Ignored for Linux compatibility
...
So it seems that this option appears before binutils-2.10.1.0.7 and
binutils-2.10.91.0.2
The 2.4.2i-pre3 kernel minimal requirements are :
o binutils 2.9.1.0.25 # ld -v
It is the same for 2.4.1-ac15.
For 2.2.19-pre, the requirements are :
- Binutils 2.8.1.0.23 ; ld -v
I've not 2.8.1.0.23, s I don't know what is the option used.
I've compiled 2.4.2-pre, 2.4.1-acxx and 2.2.19-prexx with the same 'ls" program
without any adverse effect...
Maybe the best would be to apply the patch to 2.2.19pre, 2.4.x and ac releases.
This would allows havind only one "ld" on the system if using more than one
kernel.

There's a fix in -ac already. I'm just waiting for linus to put out a 2pre4
so I can start feeding him more stuff

When are we likely to see 2.4.2? (and 2pre4)?
