Don't get too excited. gas.new, it would appear, cannot be built
without bfd, which doesn't exist unless you do a make build. I think
it's pretty obvious we're going in a circle here.
Just comment out compat I686_CPU, build a kernel, build the new
userland, then build a kernel with compat I686_CPU back in.
(I'm in the midst of doing this myself. See current-users from
today.)
