Why was this change necessary? It requires me to build a new toolchain (yes I
know Documentation/Changes says you need at least 2.12):

| tux$ make usr/
| AS usr/initramfs_data.o
| usr/initramfs_data.S: Assembler messages:
| usr/initramfs_data.S:2: Error: Unknown pseudo-op: `.incbin'
| make[1]: *** [usr/initramfs_data.o] Error 1
| make: *** [usr/] Error 2
| tux$ m68k-linux-ld -v
| GNU ld version 2.9.5 (with BFD 2.9.5.0.37)
| tux$

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
