Well, the libc and libpthread developers thought they needed it. I
assume any other developer writing assembly code might find it
useful, too.
Historical note: In previous times, only system administrators were
expected to configure and build a new kernel. That's why config(8)
is where it is. I happen to disagree with its location, because I
think more than system administrators use it these days.
