Hello, here is a fixed version.
Compile and export arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o in order to fix the
"arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o not found" error when "O=" option
is employed for external module compilation.
crtsavres.o is a support file, containing save/restore code from gcc,
simplified down for powerpc architecture needs.
This file needs to be linked against every module and thus to be built
before any module.
