This shouldn't be necessary but so be it.  I've applied the patch.

Because I haven't looked everywhere I haven't removed the file.

The file is not going back for all archs.  Any change will have to
happen in an architecture-dependent Makefile.  How the attribute is
added is another problem.

Platforms oher than x86 are really not optimized in the moment so there
is no need for such an isolated attempt at this time.  Once I'm through
I'll look at ia64 and alpha but all the rest remains for others.  A lot
of the optimizations are generic but still there is work to do.
