The new file doesn't have a '.bin' suffix so it isn't handled
by the existing wildcards in configure for copying the ROM blobs
into the build tree, and that patch doesn't add any new rune
to do it.

So 'make check' will work for:
 * build in the source directory
 * build if you've done a make install on your host, ever
but fail for:
 * build in a separate build tree and the ROM blob isn't
installed on the system already
