[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 2/9] arm: work around assembler bug

[Allen Martin]

Disable sibling call optimization based on binutils version.  This is
to work around a bug in the assember in binutils versions < 2.22.
Branches to weak symbols can be incorrectly optimized in thumb mode to
a short branch (b.n instruction) that won't reach when the symbol gets
preempted.
