updated hack - it now works on 64-bit too.

( Btw., whoever came up with those fantastic variations of BFD, 
  architecture name and ELF format names and sprinkled them around 
  various tools with different command line switches and variants and 
  underscore versus dash names, must not be let near any serious 
  open-source code base again, until the end of his life. )

Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: scripts/recordmcount.pl cross-build hack

hack around:

 ld: Relocatable linking with relocations from format elf32-i386 (init/.tmp_gl_calibrate.o) to format elf64-x86-64 (init/.tmp_mx_calibrate.o) i  CC      arch/x86/mm/extable.o
 objcopy: 'init/.tmp_mx_calibrate.o': No such file
 rm: cannot remove `init/.tmp_mx_calibrate.o': No such file or directory
 ld: Relocatable linking with relocations from format elf32-i386 (arch/x86/mm/extable.o) to format elf64-x86-64 (arch/x86/mm/.tmp_mx_extable.o) is not supported
 mv: cannot stat `arch/x86/mm/.tmp_mx_extable.o': No such file or directory
 ld: Relocatable linking with relocations from format elf32-i386 (arch/x86/mm/fault.o) to format elf64-x86-64 (arch/x86/mm/.tmp_mx_fault.o) is not supported
