Ingo,

Could you use my updated patch. I know it is still just a work around, but 
your update broke my build.  I use distcc which passes in "distcc" as gcc. 
My distcc is self built and is not the same as the distribution gcc.

Ie, you have:

if ($arch eq "x86_64") {
  $ld = "ld -m elf_x86_64";
  $objdump = "objdump -M x86-64";
  $objcopy = "objcopy -O elf64-x86-64";
  $cc = "gcc -m64";
}

Where the $cc = "gcc" is not compatible on my system. I end up with a bad 
build that causes ftrace to fail on bootup.
