Subject: The Linux binutils 2.17.50.0.3 is released

Changes from binutils 2.17.50.0.2:
...
16. Add "-z max-page-size=3D" and "-z common-page-size=3D" to ELF linker.
"

 I thought about this more, and I guess that we should keep the=20
dependency on the newly introduced by this patch STDBINUTILS option.=20
Perhaps, change it name to, say, STD_ELF_LINKING.

 Because, in any case, either should we patch binutils, or should we=20
pass some non-default value to the linker: the resulted application=20
doesn't match the ELF standard, and the applications which match the=20
standard simply won't work with the 256K paged kernel - so, a user has=20
to be aware of it before turning the 256K on.

 What do you think about this?

 Regards, Yuri
