openblas: fix build with old binutils versions

Older toolchains that use binutils <= 2.23.2 are affected by binutils
bug #14887 (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14887),
where:

	someinstruction [ foo, something ]

is not accepted, due to the whitespace after [ and before ], causing the
following build failures for OpenBLAS:

  ARM register expected -- `pld [ r1,#512 ]'

Since we don't have any mechanism to add dependencies on binutils
versions, we work around this problem by patching the code to remove the
problematic whitespaces. As there are many many instances of this in the
ARM assembly code of OpenBLAS, we use a sed expression to make this
modification rather than a patch.

Fixes:
