Can we also get rid of '.version "01.01"', as in config/linux.h:
#define ASM_FILE_START(FILE) \
do { \
output_file_directive (FILE, main_input_filename); \
fprintf (FILE, "\t.version\t\"01.01\"\n"); \
} while (0)
and many other target header files? AFAICT this just adds a few more
useless and unused bytes to the executable, requiring "strip
--remove-section=.note" to get rid of them.
