powerpc/boot: Fix build failure since GCC 4.9 removal
Stephen reported that the build was broken since commit 6d2ef22 ("compiler_attributes.h: drop __has_attribute() support for gcc4"), with errors such as: include/linux/compiler_attributes.h:296:5: warning: "__has_attribute" is not defined, evaluates to 0 [-Wundef] 296 | #if __has_attribute(__warning__) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile:225: arch/powerpc/boot/crt0.o] Error 1 But we expect __has_attribute() to always be defined now that we've stopped using GCC 4. Linus debugged it to the point of reading the GCC sources, and noticing that the problem is that __has_attribute() is not defined when preprocessing assembly files, which is what we're doing here. Our assembly files don't include, or need, compiler_attributes.h, but they are getting it unconditionally from the -include in BOOT_CFLAGS, which is then added in its entirety to BOOT_AFLAGS. That -include was added in commit 7743383 ("powerpc: boot: include compiler_attributes.h") so that we'd have "fallthrough" and other attributes defined for the C files in arch/powerpc/boot. But it's not needed for assembly files. The minimal fix is to move the addition to BOOT_CFLAGS of -include compiler_attributes.h until after we've copied BOOT_CFLAGS into BOOT_AFLAGS. That avoids including compiler_attributes.h for asm files, but makes no other change to BOOT_CFLAGS or BOOT_AFLAGS.
