This is an error in genrules.pl (I think); if you look closely you'll see 
that the link command is trying to link in undi.o twice.

Incidentally, if you are the same Boris from Canada whose e-mail address
used to be bo...@th... then I would really appreciate the
US$310 that you owe me for the Etherboot development work I did on your
behalf almost eight months ago.  If not, then my apologies.

Apologies also to everyone else on the list for bringing the subject up,
but I have tried many times to chase up this invoice and I think it is now
appropriate to warn other Etherboot developers not to accept commissions
from Boris Reisig <bo...@th...> and/or Thinovations (a Canadian
company) without payment in advance.
