Hi made a patch to add --build-id=none to TARGET_LDFLAGS instead of
MODULE_LDFLAGS. with this it is passed to ld when linking kernel.elf.
without this kernel.elf creates a additional LOAD segment with a virtual
address in PhysAddr witch causes problem with OF and causes
grub-mkelfimage to not work correctly.
