[PATCH] x86: Allow generating user-space headers without a compiler

[Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1312 bytes --]

When bootstrapping an architecture, it's usual to generate the
kernel's user-space headers (make headers_install) before building a
compiler.  Move the compiler check (for asm goto support) to the
archprepare target so that it is only done when building code for the
target.
