Olaf Hering f48b8296b3 [PATCH] powerpc32: Set cpu explicitly in kernel compiles
Compile the 32bit kernel with -mcpu=powerpc. This reduces the imagesize
when a compiler is used that defaults to -mtune=power4. It inserts lots
of nops to please the 64bit cpu instruction scheduling. But all these nops
are not needed for 32bit kernels.

Example with SLES10 gcc 4.1.0 and arch/powerpc/configs/pmac32_defconfig:

                    vmlinux  vmlinux.strip  vmlinux.gz
 -O2                4980515     4187528      1846829
 -Os                4618801     3827084      1673333
 -O2 -mcpu=powerpc  4738851     3945868      1816253
 -Os -mcpu=powerpc  4532785     3741068      1664688
