Subject: arch: define weak abort()
gcc toggle -fisolate-erroneous-paths-dereference (default at -O2 onwards)
isolates faulty code paths such as null pointer access, divide by zero
etc. If gcc port doesnt implement __builtin_trap, an abort() is generated
which causes kernel link error.
In this case, gcc is generating abort due to 'divide by zero' in
lib/mpi/mpih-div.c.
Currently 'frv' and 'arc' are failing. Previously other arch was also
broken like m32r was fixed by d22e3d69ee1a ("m32r: fix build failure").
Let's define this weak function which is common for all arch and fix the
problem permanently. We can even remove the arch specific 'abort' after
this is done.
