#9 multiple definition of `path'

[hackerb9]

Compiling from the latest git source code on a Debian GNU/Linux box dies with an error in the linker:

$ make
Linking virtualt
/bin/ld: obj/linker.o:(.bss+0x0): multiple definition of `path'; obj/m100emu.o:(.bss+0x240): first defined here
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [GNUmakefile:124: virtualt] Error 1

This is easily fixed by simply renaming the variable path in linker.cpp and making it static.

It appears the intent was to use the same path variable. I've fixed this in current git. Please let me know if it works so I can close this.
