Adding MAX_CPUS=1 in ldoptions gets the linking through, the build now hangs when dd'ing linuxbios.strip, it seems that the seek value evaluates to a negative number. Getting closer.

In ``src/arch/i386/config/make.base'' there is ``option MAX_CPUS=1''
``NLBConfig.py'' puts this value in ``Makefile.settings''
``Makefile'' puts this value in ``ldoptions''.
MAX_CPUS is not set in ldoptions.
Therfore one of two things is happening. Either MAX_CPUS is being set
to a nonnumeric value, or it is being unset. A quick look at
``Makefile.settings'' should answer that question.
With your ldoptions file the error is 100% reproducible here, so it
doesn't appear to be a difference in tool versions.
I hope this helps to track the problem down.
