Any kernel linked with the latest (or any) version of gold (GNU gold (GNU
Binutils 2.18.50.20080415) 1.5) fails to boot.
Normal kernel:
# file kernel176
kernel176: Linux kernel x86 boot executable RO-rootFS, root_dev 0x801, swap_dev
0x1, Normal VGA
kernel linked with gold:
# file kernel177
kernel177: x86 boot sector; partition 4: ID=0x1, starthead 0, startsector 1,
134348799 sectors
I guess linking fails in the last stages of kernel building.
