Patch for the nlmheader.y file

[Jon Carey]

I changed the nlmheader.y file so numeric parameters to various linker
commands could be specified in hex.
The problem:
If I link my NLM on the Windows platform using the tools provided in
the Novell Developer Kit (NLMLINK) and I wan't to specify the TSR flag
for the NLM, I would do it with the following line in my def file:
FLAG_ON 0x01000000

If I link my NLM on the Windows platform using nlmconv and I wan't to
specify the TSR flag for the NLM, I would to do it with the following
line in my def file:
FLAG_ON 16777216

With the change I made to the src/binutils/nlmheader.y file you can now
do the following:
FLAG_ON 0x01000000
FLAG_ON 16777216
FLAG_ON 0100000000

This change allows numeric parameters to be specified this way on the
following linker commands:
FLAG_ON
FLAG_OFF
STACK
STACKSIZE
TYPE
VERSION

All I did was change to base parameter from "10" to "0" in the call to
strtol in the nlmlex_get_number function in nlmheader.y.

I have attached the patch file for this change to this email. this
patch is for the file src/binutils/nlmheader.y only.
