When we use the cross-compiler to build syslinux with a recent binutils
version, it fails with:
/builds/arnout/buildroot/output/host/bin/i586-buildroot-linux-uclibc-ld -Bsymbolic -pie -E --hash-style=gnu -T

Backport an upstream patch that reorganises the i386 bios build by
removing some symbols and making others hidden. To simplify the
backport, an additional patch that also touches the link script is
also included - it anyway looks like that patch could be relevant as
well.
