This this one and the same change in the linux/ package, I'm not a
super super fan, even if I admit I'm not sure I have a better solution
to offer. I tend to not like very much this kind of super arch-specific
CFLAGS customization sprinkled in different places.

My initial thought when looking at this was "could it be done directly
by the toolchain-wrapper"? Indeed, we already have some logic to detect
if the code being built is from the kernel (__KERNEL__ is defined) or
U-Boot (__UBOOT__ is defined).

Another concern is what about other bootloaders or piece of
freestanding code that also shouldn't be built -mfdpic?

Best regards,

Thomas
