[meta-freescale] Build kernel error for B4860qds-64b machine

[Alexandru Vaduva]

Hello,

I did the following:
 - Cloned the poky and meta-fsl-ppc.
 - Constructed the build directory accordingly. 
	Taking into consideration that the build machine is set as b4860qds-64b and poky distro.

 - Added the following flag to the CC compiler:
        		d.setVar('KERNEL_CC_append', ' -mcmodel=large')
	It solved a problem for the missing flags like:  
		relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI

 - Also tried to change -mcpu flag to -mtune because it firstly complained about outdated flags:
		TUNE_CCARGS .= "${@bb.utils.contains("TUNE_FEATURES", "e6500", " -mtune=e6500", "", d)}"
	| gcc: warning: '-mcpu=' is deprecated; use '-mtune=' or '-march=' instead
	|   CC      fs/char_dev.o
	| arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso32/sigtramp.S:1:0: error: bad value (e5500) for -mtune= switch  VDSO64A arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/gettimeofday.o
	
	The warning disappeared but the problem remained.

Thanks,
Alex
