Don't use '-fwrapv' compiler option: it's buggy in gcc-4.1.x
This causes kernel images that don't run init to completion with certain
broken gcc versions.
This fixes kernel bugzilla entry:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13012
I suspect the gcc problem is this:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28230
Fix the problem by using the -fno-strict-overflow flag instead, which
not only does not exist in the known-to-be-broken versions of gcc (it
was introduced later than fwrapv), but seems to be much less disturbing
to gcc too: the difference in the generated code by -fno-strict-overflow
are smaller (compared to using neither flag) than when using -fwrapv.
