sh4-linux-gcc doesn't recognize -m2a-nofpu, so that is not passed.
It does recognize -m4a-nofpu, but when that's passed, it complains
about opcode not valid for this cpu variant in inline asm/

Ah, it also recognizes -m4-nofpu. If I add that, se7206_defconfig builds.
I assume a proper sh2a-linux toolchain will not recognize the -m4-nofpu,
so it won't be passed due to $(call cc-option).

Does this sound like an acceptable solution? If yes, I'll send a patch.
