If you have to use %0 instead of %c0, that is all right.  Just remove
the extra '$' in the Makefile as arch/arm/tools/Makefile already does.
I would still like to see arm in 2.5 using the same style as i386,
including printing the offset in decimal and hex together with the
comment.  But that is just style, the important thing is to generate
assembler offsets so that kbuild can correctly track the dependencies.
