Wrong windres being used by linker makefile

Hi Chris,

   I am having trouble with your recent patch to the linker Makefile to
   use a host based windres.  It only works if the host has a version of
   windres installed - and one that matches the target that is being
   built.

   I think that we need to use the target windres, not the host.  As in:

diff --git a/ld/Makefile.am b/ld/Makefile.am
index e89a6c1..795663f 100644
--- a/ld/Makefile.am
+++ b/ld/Makefile.am

   Does this work for you ?

Cheers
