[LINUX] Move .bss declaration after .data.* in x86_64 linker script.
Older binutils (prior to 2.16) have a problem with the linker script resulting from the change introducing explicit segment maps. Namely does the respective linker not properly handle @nobits sections (i.e. .bss) sitting between @progbits ones (i.e. .data.*). The .bss section must therefore be moved past all initialized sections (as is already the case on i386). Replacement patch attached.
