Here it is:

make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=arch/arm/boot/compressed
arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux
  arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi-ld -EL    --defsym zreladdr=0x20008000
  --defsym initrd_phys=0x20410000 --defsym params_phys=0x20000100 -p
  --no-undefined -X -T arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux.lds
  arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.o arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.gzip.o arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o
  /home/albin/x-tools/arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi/lib/gcc/arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi/4.3.2/libgcc.a -o arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux
  /home/albin/x-tools/arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi/lib/gcc/arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi/4.3.2/libgcc.a(_dvmd_lnx.o):
  In function `__div0':
  /home/albin/devel/free-electrons/toolchain/targets/src/gcc-4.3.2/libgcc/../gcc/config/arm/lib1funcs.asm:1079:
  undefined reference to `raise'

So it seems like the hack indeed did what is was supposed to do.
