[PATCH] ld.so on FC7 is mmap'ing shared libraries right in overguest memory.

[Rusty Russell]

From: Ronald G. Minnich <rminnich@xxxxxxxxx>

[ FC7 maps shared libraries very low, where the launcher maps guest's
physical memory.  Quick fix is to link Launcher static, real fix is for
2.6.24. ]

-static is a simple fix. I expect this problem will be more common than we
like, as different distro's make different "improvements" to ld.so
