No, let's fix the file instead. We should never have wrapped its
contents in CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT in the first place.

And we don't want to export it unconditionally. We want something like
we already have in include/asm-generic/Kbuild.asm:

ifeq ($(wildcard include/asm-$(SRCARCH)/a.out.h),include/asm-$(SRCARCH)/a.out.h)
unifdef-y += a.out.h
endif
