Add linker flags when linking kernel.exec to have malloc and free point to
grub_malloc and grub_free respectively. Some gdb functionality depends on
gdb locating the symbols "malloc" and "free", such as dynamically creating
strings for arguments to injected function calls. A trivial example would
the gdb command 'p strlen("astring")'.Signed-off-by: Glenn Washburn <developm...@efficientek.com> --- This should have been included in the gdb patch series I recently sent, although its not required by nor requires any of those patches.
