Linux 2.0.8 build w/o encaps

I noticed 2.0.8 added support for building without modified
binutils/encaps (a major boon for me, the box I build kernel's on main job
in life is cross-compiling for H8/300H & SH-1 - saves me having to be
ultra careful when playing with binutils stuff), it nearly works, but
leaves the .stab sections in (which I guess the loader then tries to
execute); this patch fixed it for me:
