From a14b1b3d3e375d2e8af8804171ef5e52574dbb2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com>
Date: Tue, 9 Feb 2016 18:15:50 -0800
Subject: [PATCH] core: Clean up the i386-bios build

Remove symbols and data structures not used in the i386-bios build,
and clean up the linker script so that most internal symbols are
HIDDEN.

Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Upstream: ff859050fa4e6535cae098dc35d88a265466448d

This patch fixes the following build failure with i386 binutils 2.28.1:

/builds/arnout/buildroot/output/host/bin/i586-buildroot-linux-uclibc-ld  -Bsymbolic -pie -E --hash-style=gnu -T
/builds/arnout/buildroot/output/build/syslinux-6.03/core/i386/syslinux.ld -M -o ldlinux.elf ldlinux.o \

--no-omagic \
	> ldlinux.map
/builds/arnout/buildroot/output/host/bin/i586-buildroot-linux-uclibc-ld: ldlinux.elf: Not enough room for program headers, try linking with -N
