Commit 8370edea81 ("bin2c: move bin2c in scripts/basic") moved bin2c
to the scripts/basic/ directory, incorrectly stating "Kexec wants to
use bin2c and it wants to use it really early in the build process.
See arch/x86/purgatory/ code in later patches."
Commit bdab125c93 ("Revert "kexec/purgatory: Add clean-up for
purgatory directory"") and commit d6605b6bbe ("x86/build: Remove
unnecessary preparation for purgatory") removed the redundant
purgatory build magic entirely.
That means that the move of bin2c was unnecessary in the first place.
fixdep is the only host program that deserves to sit in the
scripts/basic/ directory.

New compilers use the floating-point registers as spill registers when
there is high register pressure. In the purgatory however, the afp control
bit is not set. This leads to an exception whenever a floating-point
instruction is used, which again causes an interrupt loop.
Forbid the compiler to use floating-point instructions by adding
-msoft-float to KBUILD_CFLAGS.

The common code expects the architecture to have a purgatory that runs
between the two kernels. Add it now. For simplicity first skip crash
support.
