Error to build 14.07 from source

[gabrielflach]

I got a error when I build 14.07 from source. Previously its works fine, but on the last week it stopped working.
When I execute make download, i got a error "404: Not Found" for the linux kernel.

v14 is over 5 years old and has been unsupported for years. The Linux kernel it used has multiple, well-known, severe security flaws as does many of the third-party applications that were part of the distribution.

Use of v19 or master is recommended.

If you are running QSDK, it needs to be supported by your QCA support channels.

The above patch comes from the Gargoyle wiki to allow our really old versions to still be compiled.
As per @jeff suggestion, while you can do it, it's not necessarily the best idea.
