Compilation problem on m68k/memcpy.S

Thanks Vincent.  I decided to make a new file: m68kasm.h which has the 
prelude found in setjmp.S.  I then had the 3 .S files include 
"m68kasm.h" and use the SYM() macro as you have below.

Please try out the new code to make sure I didn't make any mistakes.  I 
don't have a m68k build handy for testing.

         * libc/machine/m68k/m68kasm.h: New file.
         * libc/machine/m68k/setjmp.S: Remove common definitions and
         place in m68kasm.h.  Include "m68kasm.h".
         * libc/machine/m68k/memcpy.S: Include "m68kasm.h" and use
         SYM() macro when referencing function name.
         * libc/machine/m68k/memset.S: Ditto.
