libraries/flashplugin-lahf-fix: Added (emulates LAHF instruction)
Early x86_64 cpu's did not have the lahf instruction. Unfortunately, Adobe wrote their flash using this instruction. Signed-off-by: dsomero <xgizzmo@slackbuilds.org>

+Simple work-around for running the 64-bit Adobe Flash plug-in version 10
+on Athlon64 processors without support for the lahf instruction.
+
+Compile with:
+cc -fPIC -shared -nostdlib -lc -oflashplugin-lahf-fix.so flashplugin-lahf-fix.c
+Then place the .so file in the plug-in directory (e.g. $HOME/.mozilla/plugins)
+or use LD_PRELOAD to force Firefox to load the library.
