binutils 2.39 shows some warnings when building pvh.img

/usr/bin/ld: warning: pvh.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
/usr/bin/ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker
/usr/bin/ld: warning: pvh.img has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions

The latter of which is fatal on Fedora rawhide for some reason.

This adds linker options to suppress the errors, if ld supports
the new options.

    - Check if ld supports the options, they are fairly new.
      Uses the same `ld -v $CHECKOPT` pattern as kernel.git uses
      Stuffs the overrides in `config-ld.mak` similar to `config-cc.mak`
      pattern

It doesn't appear this patch is neccessary to build on fedora rawhide
anymore, qemu 9.0.0-rc2 is building fine there

Thanks,
