[PATCH] ARM/S3C2440: Don't build armv4t modules we can't load

   The kernel can't load armv4t modules ("unknown relocation: 40"). This
patch fixes the ARM makefile accordingly to tell GCC to generate armv4 code
instead of armv4t code. The assembler still needs to allow armv4t
instructions for some object files which are linked into the kernel.

   The patch is against andy-tracking
b33f0a20da8bc5816d6d2e92aca7d417e1ebf782. Tested on a GTA02. I think the
problem is triggered by a recent upgrade of GCC and/or binutils:

$ gcc --version | head -n 1
gcc (Debian 4.3.3-4) 4.3.3
$ as --version | head -n 1
GNU assembler (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.19.1
