Thanks!  Looks good to me.  Actually, if we stop using objcopy, we  
don't need to test it at all.  Or we can reuse the test to test ld in  
place of objcopy.

I tend to prefer the removal of grub_PROG_OBJCOPY_ABSOLUTE, as it's  
designed to find a specific bug in some old version of objcopy, and if  
we discover any issues with ld (I hope not), we'll have to use  
different tests to detect them.

We may want to use architecture specific ld scripts, but that can be  
corrected in further patches.
