The patch applies neatly and memtest86.bin builds fine. But making
memtest86.ebi stops with a link error.

ld -T memtest86.lds head.obj relo.obj -o memtest86.ebi
ld: bfd assertion fail ../../bfd/elf.c:1405
ld: bfd assertion fail ../../bfd/elf.c:1405
relo.obj: file not recognized: File format not recognized
make: *** [memtest86.ebi] Error 1

Any clue?

Sorry for going stightly off topic.

Thanks in advance.
