gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5)
GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.22


ld -m elf_i386  -Bsymbolic -pie -E --hash-style=gnu -T
/home/gene/s/g/core/syslinux.ld -M -o ldlinux.elf ldlinux.o \
                --start-group libcom32.a --whole-archive
/home/gene/s/g/bios/com32/lib/libcom32core.a libldlinux.a --end-group
\
                > ldlinux.map
ld:/home/gene/s/g/core/syslinux.ld:29: syntax error
make[3]: *** [ldlinux.elf] Error 1


core/syslinux.ld:29:    HIDDEN(__module_start = .);

This would seem to indicate that the keyword HIDDEN is invalid in my
version.  A quick "git grep com32.ld" seems to show that com32.ld is
unused.
