This breaks the vdso for e500v1/v2 (userspace dies with SIGILL), since  
KBUILD_CFLAGS doesn't get used when building asm files, and the vdso  
uses mftbu/mftbl which are not being assembled to the form that  
e500v1/v2 support.

We should be setting -mcpu=whatever and -msoft-float in both CFLAGS and  
AFLAGS, since we don't call "as" directly, and target selection should  
not differ based on whether we're building a C file or an asm file.
