[RFC PATCH] clean up use of ia64 scripts

Hello list,

Ia64 seems to be the only one that use arch specific scripts to check
tool chain bugs that create the dependency on ia64 tool chain which
make the command:
make ARCH=ia64 oldconfig  fail if ia64 cross tool chain is __not__
installed or OBJDUMP and CC is __not__ set with cross tool path on a
non-ia64 box.  Given the current state of art of tool chain, I don't
know if these check are still useful. Please consider to remove it.

Thanks,
Luming
