[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 2/2] arm: work around assembler bug

[Allen Martin]

Disable sibling call optimization based on binutils version.  This is
to work around a bug in the assember in binutils versions < 2.22.
Branches to weak symbols can be incorrectly optimized in thumb mode to
a short branch (b.n instruction) that won't reach when the symbol gets
preempted.

Please don't squash out whitespace, just break this out into a
multi-line test ala the others in the toplevel config.mk.

This seems a bit longer than needed.  Just check that it's y once and do
both things.  Also, I _think_ we should be able to squish this down to:
ifeq ($(CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD),y)
GAS_BUG_12532 := $(shell if [ $(call binutils-version) -lt 0222 ] ; \
	then echo y; else echo n; fi)
ifeq ($(GAS_BUG_125320),y)
$(warning ...)
$(warning ...)
PLATFORM_RELFLAGS += ...
endif
endif

But I haven't tested it.

I wrote it the way I did because I only want the expensive
shell/binutils-version to get evaluated once per "make".  I think what
you proposed would cause it to get re-evaluated every time the build
goes down into a subdir.

It should still get evaluated once, I think.  Kluding the
binutils-version script to echo 1 >> /tmp/test every time it's run would
tell tho for sure :)

I tried it out, it's obvious from the $(warning) it's getting
reevaluated:

It makes sense since unless GAS_BUG_125320 is "export"ed to the new
make, it's going to be unset again each the build starts a new
"make -C"
