should work fine for LLVM's integrated assembler. But I agree, for
consistency it would be nice to get rid of them the same way too.

A bit further up, there is also:
AFLAGS_sram242x.o :=-Wa,-march=armv6
AFLAGS_sram243x.o :=-Wa,-march=armv6

I think those explicit arch definitions are not even necessary since
ARCH_OMAP2 depends on ARCH_MULTI_V6, which cannot be built with pre v6
architecture. So the minimum architecture we build for will be armv6...

In a quick test omap2plus_defconfig builds fine without those AFLAGS. I
will put it through some more testing and drop those flags in v3.
