  Change our ELF binary branding to something more acceptable to the Binutils
  maintainers.

  Note that a new kernel can still properly load old binaries except for
  Linux static binaries branded in our old method.

One statically linked Linux binary that will cause you trouble after you
build world is the Linux ``ldconfig''.  After your ``make world'' and
before you reboot that new kernel, issue:

brandelf -t Linux /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig

Does this mean that we can re-brand any statically 
linux binary if it fails?
