+From 2c7bfe1299efa97438814bf6826a8f7ab3bc0b16 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
+Date: Tue, 7 May 2013 14:51:02 +0200
+Subject: [PATCH] batctl: Add CFLAGS to the linker step
+
+The GCC manual states for different parameters that the options for compilation
+must also be used when linking. The options for compilation are stored in
+CFLAGS and added to LINK.o to fix the behavior.
+
+Option which need this are for example -fPIC/-fPIE or -flto.
