[U-Boot] [PATCH] arm: rmobile: Support build with gcc-4.6 or later

[Nobuhiro Iwamatsu]

Latest rmobile code was tested by using old gcc (gcc-4.4).
When we use gcc-4.6 (or later), the build is made, but does not work.
This solves a problem not to work by add -march=armv5 to compiple option
when we built in gcc-4.6 (or later).
I tested by linaro's compiler version 2012.04-20120426.

Yes. I know recent gcc causes problem because of unaligned access.
There are 2 different proposals, but neither accepted.

[PATCH] arm: enable unaligned access on ARMv7
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2012-June/125754.html

[PATCH] arm: armv7: add compile option -mno-unaligned-access if available
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2012-July/127260.html

This patch is the third one.

I know "wfi" instruction causes compile error in -march=armv5.
Without this, it works but not so good because 2nd CPU wastes cycles.

I wonder, is there any cheat such as ".word 0x...." (putting instruction code directly)
or something.

I see.  I'll fix.

Thanks,
