This one really scares me. Old version, removed CVE fixes, and might
cause compatibility issues with other layers...
Saul?

This is severely hacked version of the fido binutils recipe, which is
the latest binutils 2.24 recipe that we have to start with.
Instead of using the standard gnu binutils, however, for kernel LTO,
(which is the only reason we need this), we need to use the 'Linux
binutils', which is a different tarball/branch.
The problem is that there are various fixes needed for this version of
binutils to work with gcc 6.2, and many of the patches in 2.24, such
as the CVE patches, don't apply at build-time and so have been
commented out.
We should really be using the normal standard 2.7 binutils (using of
course the linux binutils branch) but that currently produces internal
errors during the kernel build.
For now, this works, and allows us to produce a working LTO-enabled
kernel.
