We already require a modern assembler; why shouldn't we require a
non-stone age binutils?  A distinction between the two seems horribly
silly to me.  If you don't have the necessary dependencies to compile
x264 with assembly, you can use --disable-asm.

A configure check, much like the yasm one, might be useful however.
