Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the akpm-current tree

Hi Andrew,

After merging the akpm-current tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

powerpc-linux-ld: unrecognized option '--no-dynamic-linker'

Caused by patch

  "powerpc: add purgatory for kexec_file_load implementation"

I have disabled KEXEC_FILE for now:
