Genode 12.11 on Ubuntu 64 bits: Could not open file "ld.lib.so" seems to cause black window

Hi Paul,

this is actually the text as found at our website (the website is
generated from the text files found in the genode repository:

  http://genode.org/download/tool-chain

See above. ;-)

I think the best would be to just provide a link to
http://genode.org/download/tool-chain. Otherwise, we would need to
remember keeping those texts consistent in the future. I just changed
the readme text at the sourceforge download page accordingly:

  https://sourceforge.net/projects/genode/files/genode-toolchain/12.11/

Cheers
