[PATCH] ldso: Force disable -mlong-calls when compiling ldso for ARC

Even though by default for ARC uClibc gets compiled with
disabled long-calls user may provide UCLIBC_EXTRA_CFLAGS
with "-mlong-calls". With this option uClibc will be
successfully compiled but later it will fail in runtime
because dynamic loader cannot deal with relocations
at least very early on its start.

In particular it will be seen as call to non-relocated
symbol _dl_parse_dynamic_info() which ends-up as a segfault
like this:

Segmentation fault
------------------------>8--------------------

Solution to this issue is simple we make sure dynamic
loader never gets compiled with "-mlong-calls" by forcing
"-mno-long-calls" on it.
