+Subject: [PATCH] Fix build with binutils note gnu property section
+
+This fixes the following build error with newer binutils:
+
+ objcopy -O binary mbr.elf mbr.bin
+ perl /build/syslinux/src/syslinux/mbr/checksize.pl mbr.bin
+ mbr.bin: too big (452 > 440)
+
+Corresponding bug reports:
+
+ - https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/60405
+ - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=906414
+
+Strips the .note.gnu.property in the linker scripts for the MBRs.
