Subject: [PATCH] arm: R_ARM_REL32 relocation support

commit d0679c730395d0bde9a46939e7ba255b4ba7dd7c moved -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm to be
powerpc-only, causing R_ARM_REL32 to be used with some toolchains on ARM.

Implement support for it to make modules work with more toolchains.

Michal Marek's patch(*) to use -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm already exists
and is IMO the correct solution in that it addresses the cause
of the problem rather than its symptoms.

NAK from me for now.

Sigh. I searched the list for related patches and didn't see any. Sorry for the duplicate.

I cannot find Michal's patch in mainline or in RMK's patch tracker.
Michal, did you submit your patch to
http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/ ?

No, I didn't. I didn't even know about this site. I'll do it in a minute.
