Building tinyconfig with gcc (Debian 11.2.0-16) and assembler (Debian
2.37.90.20220207) the following build error shows up:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:10576: Error: unrecognized opcode: `stbcx.'
{standard input}:10680: Error: unrecognized opcode: `lharx'
{standard input}:10694: Error: unrecognized opcode: `lbarx'

Rework to add assembler directives [1] around the instruction.  The
problem with this might be that we can trick a power6 into
single-stepping through an stbcx. for instance, and it will execute that
in kernel mode.

Wow, no wonder you think you need quotes after reading that.  I'll try
to get that fixed.
