Introduce KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION to make it
possible to override kernel build version
during build time.
Introduce KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP to make it
possible to override kernel build timestamp
during build time.
But variables are useful mainly by distros
that want to pass info from an SCM when
building the kernel. Timestamp could be last
checkin date for a file etc.
The idea came from Olaf Hering <olaf@aepfle.de>

Fix a minor bug in mkcompile_h. As one can see, the current locale is used
while getting the version of gcc. This produces problems when a locale
other than C or en_US is used. As an example, my /proc/version contains
Turkish characters in iso-8859-9 encoding.
This patch fixes this issue by making sure that the C locale is used to get
gcc's version.

Add PREEMPT to UTS_VERSION where enabled as is done for SMP to make
preempt kernels easily identifiable.
Added SMP PREEMPT as comment in compile.h to force it to be
updated when they change (sam).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
