     43          <para>[dnicholson] - Force the host's linker to be used throughout 
     44          Binutils-Pass1 and GCC-Pass1. This makes the build more robust since 
     45          the host's compiler may not be compatible with the linker installed 
     46          in Binutils-Pass1, such as on newer Fedora hosts.</para>
