Michael Chang f922778020 Accepting request 424063 from home:matz2:branches:Base:System
This blocks getting binutils 2.27 into Factory, so
if accepted please forward there.

- binutils 2.27 creates empty modules without a symtab.
  Add patch grub2-accept-empty-module.patch to not reject them.

Accept empty modules
For the Xen platform the all_video.mod module is empty.
With old binutils the .symtab section remained (containing
only section symbols), so the check didn't trigger, but starting
with binutils 2.27 not even a .symtab remains. As there are
also no relocations that's no problem (and that is checked
independendly).
