Old binutils versions require a slightly stricter syntax for the .arch_extension
directive and fail with the extra semicolon:

/tmp/cclfMnj9.s:656: Error: unknown architectural extension `simd;'

Drop the semicolon to make it work with all supported toolchain version.

Saeed, could you ack? I think we should get this merged quickly since
it's a build fix.

If my ack is enough you can merge, was planning to send this fix myself.

Thanks,
Patrisious.
