 Wait until someone notices it doesn't work, probably :-)
 
 I think the core problem is that override-as.mk doesn't check
 USE_BUILTIN.binutils, so it'll always use the assembler from binutils
 regardless of builtin handling.
 
 But arguably that's what it ought to do, so I'm not sure there's any
 easy fix. This seems to be the only use of it, in any case...
