I'd still love someone to review it and either reject with feedback or
commit; the gist of the feedback so far is that it may or may not be
applicable to other systems in addition to macho64, and there is some
disagreement about that.

But every reviewer seems to agree it fixes the intended problem; macho64.

For now, we've moved on and just disabled yasm completely on os-x
x86_64 because of this (Thanks to Mans' committed --disable-yasm
switch), but it'd be great to have yasm code back in the shared x86_64
build.
