kexec tools gcc 4.1.0 issue

[Mohan Kumar M]

Hi,

One more patch is required to solve the gcc 4.1.0 issue with kexec-tools.
When users run ./configure script without running autoconf, -mcall-aixdesc flag
will not be added to the EXTRA_CFLAGS.

This patch adds the flag to configure script also. So that even if the user does
not run autoconf, -mcall-aixdesc flag is added to EXTRA_CFLAGS.



This patch is required in addition to
kexec-ppc-gcc410-fix.patch. When users run ./configure
script without running autoconf, "-mcall-aixdesc" flag will
not be included to the EXTRA_CFLAGS. This patch adds this
flag to EXTRA_CLFAGS in "configure" script also.
