Replace unnecessary perl with sed, printf, and the shell $(( )) operator.

You can build a kernel in a cross compiling environment that doesn't have perl
in the $PATH. Commit 429f7a062e3b broke that for 32 bit arm. Fix it.

This looks more complicated than necessary, and therefore less readable.
What's wrong with:

KBSS_SZ := $(shell echo $$(($$($(CROSS_COMPILE)nm $(obj)/../../../../vmlinux | \
		sed -n -e 's/^\([^ ]*\) B __bss_start$$/-0x\1/p' \
		       -e 's/^\([^ ]*\) B __bss_stop$$/+0x\1/p') ))

The sed command produces output such as:

-0xc0955e58
+0xc10b0f9c

which the shell is then able to evaluate and produce a decimal number.
This seems to work fine with both bash and dash.

Yes, that is better.
