Subject: host gcc 4.7 warning when generating defconfig

Hi,

We do cross compile builds for ARC Linux. To avoid the env var set, we have a
defconfig entry for CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE.
This worked fine so far (host gcc 4.4 i.e.). When switched to a new host distro
(gcc 4.7), a defconfig build spews out the warning.

------------------->8--------------------------
mymake defconfig
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-marc600'
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mA7'
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mno-sdata'
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mno-mpy'
*** Default configuration is based on 'fpga_defconfig'
#
# configuration written to .config
------------------->8--------------------------

While the following trivial fix seems to fix this, it seems that the spew is
coming due to LIBGCC definition line, which is strange to be called for defconfig
generation. Any thoughts ?

Thx,
