This is purely a gld vs. ld issue and the fix is obvious. The reason
the makefile in src works but the one in patches does not is because
in an spkg the code in src is vanilla from upstream [with some well
noted exceptions] and we copy over updated files when spkg-install is
run.

I have some other OSX 64 bit specific fixes, but we might as well do
an upgrade to FLINT 1.09 if we do any fixes to that spkg.

As is there will be no more GNU specific ld code merged. Since Debian
needs soname support Tim will have to patch it into the makefile via a
Debian specific patch when creating the deb. Sorry Tim ;)
