Summary:                    ARM: gcc is not configured for the ARM cpu selected
in the menuconfig
Description: 
The CPU selected in the menuconfig is not used to configure the gcc build
to use the configured CPU. This causes code to be built that will not run
on the target due to instructions that can never be executed.

If the cpu type is not specified, then not only is the compiler producing
builds of packages that are incorrect, but it will also produce an libgcc
with invalid instructions in it.

Passing CFLAGS with -mcpu=<configured-cpu> to the package builds was
considered as a posibility, but this will not ensure that libgcc is built
with the correct architecture flags.
