As reported by Will Deacon, older versions of binutils that do not
support certain types of memory barriers can cause build failure of the
vdso32 library.

Add a compilation time mechanism that detects if binutils supports those
instructions and configure the kernel accordingly.

Is this check for the compat gas or the native one? Looking at
scripts/Kbuild.include, as-instr uses CC but you'd need a COMPATCC here
instead.

I may have missed something but I don't think this fixes the issue
Will's issue since he reported the problem with an old compat binutils.

Good catch I thought that it was sufficient to put it in the correct makefile,
but I missed that COMPATCC != CC. This selects the wrong binutils.

Need to add something in Kbuild for that.
