[Aboriginal] Time for another release.

Bit past due, really.

I got the sh2eb and sh2elf binflt toolchains working. Userspace isn't
yet because nommu, I tried switching ash out for hush but it still needs
fork(). (CONFIG_MSH is aliased to CONFIG_HUSH, so they yanked the shell
that worked nommu and replaced it with one that didn't.)

I'm debugging why awk is breaking on mips: "awk '{print $2}' blah.txt"
is hanging because the "2" parses as NAN and it loops, which turns out
to be a kernel bug introduced by 46490b572544 which was _not_ fixed by
backporting 620b15503457.

There's also something funky with i686 and x86_64 builds under qemu, but
I can just do those in a chroot for the moment. Not sure I'm holding up
the release for that.
