broken 5.5 build system

Hello,

On a fresh Debian system I got this:

stappers@coco:~
$ cd /usr/src/etherboot/etherboot-5.5/src/
stappers@coco:/usr/src/etherboot/etherboot-5.5/src

What version of linker ( ld )  are people using that
can build etherboot-5.5 images?

Is it a linker problem that encountered is?

P.S.

Building 5.4 succeeds.
