I did say there were 3 symlinks, but i forgot, make distclean and mrproper
DO remove the symlink, include/asm, its linked up again when you define your
cpu type. But that should not have any effect on compiling other software.
If it does then you can always edit the other programs Makefile to tell it
to look elsewhere for whatever it says it cant find.
I'm sorry i did'nt get it correct the first time round.
