I'm happy as it is.. should probably go into 9.. I'd skip 8.
Our 8 based build systems seem to work but when I try use it directly 
if fails..

I tlooks like "someone" compiled ld from binutils some years ago and 
just checked the binary in somewhere.
One of a series of 'poor judgement' actions that I've been fighting to 
clean up.

anyhow it doesn't matter as it works in the upcoming platform and the 
old one
we are migrating away from even if we are not sure why it works 
there.. :-)
