But this is not an assembler flag!

quiet_cmd_vdso32as = VDSO32A $@
      cmd_vdso32as = $(VDSOCC) $(a_flags) $(CC32FLAGS) $(AS32FLAGS) -c -o $@ $<

where

ifdef CROSS32_COMPILE
    VDSOCC := $(CROSS32_COMPILE)gcc
else
    VDSOCC := $(CC)
endif


The name of the make variable AS32FLAGS is a bit misleading.  This
variable does not hold arguments to as, it holds arguments to the
compiler driver, "gcc".
