Subject: [PATCH] lib/Kconfig.debug: fix frv build failure

The build of frv allmodconfig was failing with the errors like:
/tmp/cc0JSPc3.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cc0JSPc3.s:1839: Error: symbol `.LSLT0' is already defined
/tmp/cc0JSPc3.s:1842: Error: symbol `.LASLTP0' is already defined
/tmp/cc0JSPc3.s:1969: Error: symbol `.LELTP0' is already defined
/tmp/cc0JSPc3.s:1970: Error: symbol `.LELT0' is already defined

Commit: 866ced950bcd ("kbuild: Support split debug info v4") introduced
splitting the debug info and keeping that in a separate file.
Somehow, the frv-linux gcc did not like that and I am guessing that
instead of splitting it started copying. The first report about this
is at: https://lists.01.org/pipermail/kbuild-all/2015-July/010527.html.

I will try and see if this can work with frv and if still fails I will
open a bug report with gcc. But meanwhile this is the easiest option
to solve build failure of frv.

Hi Fengguang,
As frv arch will start building with this patch after a long time, it
will give new warnings which your script will consider to be new
warnings introduced by this patch.
