Bump.

Bazel has a nice system for managing includes and defines and currently it is not easy to use that existing infrastructure to preprocess files (ie ld scripts, config files, ...).

Rebuilding the whole thing via genrule and a whole bunch of -I $(execpath ...) / -D "works", but loses most of the flexibility.
