That got pushed out as commit 7c0846125358 ("m68k: remove broken
strcmp implementation") but it's obviously entirely untested. I don't
do m68k cross-compiles, much less boot tests.

Just FYI for everybody - I may have screwed something up for some very
non-obvious reason.

But it looked very obvious indeed, and I hate having buggy code that
is architecture-specific when we have generic code that isn't buggy.
