Currently a build with CONFIG_E200=y will fail with:
Error: invalid switch -me200
Error: unrecognized option -me200
Upstream binutils has never supported an -me200 option. Presumably it
was supported at some point by either a fork or Freescale internal
binutils.
We can't support code that we can't even build test, so drop the
addition of -me200 to the build flags, so we can at least build with
CONFIG_E200=y.

I'd go further and remove E200 code entirely, unless someone with the hardware
can claim that it actually works. There doesn't appear to be any actual
platform support for an e200-based system. It seems to be a long-abandoned
work in progress.

Thanks for the patch; this should make randconfig builds not pick this
non-buildable config.
