    ARC: Explicitly add -mmedium-calls to CFLAGS · 97aaf733

    [ Upstream commit 74c11e300c103af47db5b658fdcf28002421e250 ]
    
    GCC built for arc*-*-linux has "-mmedium-calls" implicitly enabled by default
    thus we don't see any problems during Linux kernel compilation.
    ----------------------------->8------------------------
    arc-linux-gcc -mcpu=arc700 -Q --help=target | grep calls
      -mlong-calls                          [disabled]
      -mmedium-calls                        [enabled]
    ----------------------------->8------------------------
    
    But if we try to use so-called Elf32 toolchain with GCC configured for
    arc*-*-elf* then we'd see the following failure:
    ----------------------------->8------------------------
    init/do_mounts.o: In function 'init_rootfs':
    do_mounts.c:(.init.text+0x108): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARC_S21W_PCREL
    against symbol 'unregister_filesystem' defined in .text section in fs/filesystems.o
    
    arc-elf32-ld: final link failed: Symbol needs debug section which does not exist
    make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
    ----------------------------->8------------------------
    
    That happens because neither "-mmedium-calls" nor "-mlong-calls" are enabled in
    Elf32 GCC:
    ----------------------------->8------------------------
    arc-elf32-gcc -mcpu=arc700 -Q --help=target | grep calls
      -mlong-calls                          [disabled]
      -mmedium-calls                        [disabled]
    ----------------------------->8------------------------
    
    Now to make it possible to use Elf32 toolchain for building Linux kernel
    we're explicitly add "-mmedium-calls" to CFLAGS.
    
    And since we add "-mmedium-calls" to the global CFLAGS there's no point in
    having per-file copies thus removing them.
