Subject: [2.6 patch] re-add -ffreestanding

I got the following compile error with gcc 4.1.1 when trying to compile 
kernel 2.6.18-rc4-mm2 for m68k:

make[1]: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

<--  snip  -->

The Linux kernel is a freestanding environment, not a hosted one 
providing a full standard C library gcc can consider being present.

The fact that -ffreestanding had already been re-added on three 
architectures also reflects this fact.

If we want to use all or a subset of the gcc builtins on some or all 
architectures, we should make this explicitely through #define's.

The justification of commit 6edfba1b33c701108717f4e036320fc39abe1912
"it was only added for x86-64, so dropping it should be safe" has been 
proved as wrong since it broke at least mips and m68k.

This patch therefore reverts commit 
6edfba1b33c701108717f4e036320fc39abe1912 and re-adds -ffreestanding to 
the CFLAGS.
