[C/R ARM][PATCH] ARM: Added user space support for c/r on ARM


General
--------

This is a first attempt to add C/R support for ARM. There are a number
of annoying changes in the extract-headers.sh and clone.h files due to
the way syscall numbers are defined on the ARM architecture.

Additionally there's introduced general support for CROSS_COMPILATION
and the SUBARCH variable is now conditionally set, depending on existing
values from the environment.

Eclone
--------

The code is based on the clone.S file from glibc. Some of the functionality
from glibc such as _syscall_error can not be linked with directly, so error
handling is performed a little different. In time, this code will hopefully
merge with libc and when that happens it is obvious how to link with libc
code instead of custom assembler.

The implementation has been tested with nsexec and seems to be working
properly.  However, during testing, the code to access TLS in the libc error
handler (syscall_error) did not function correctly and in fact resulted in a
segmentation fault later on in the code. Instead of using the error
handler, we simply return to the caller and let it modify errno.

Note: The code to set an error for the child if CLONE_THREAD is not
specified, looks much like the syscall_error code and should probably
be tested later on. However, with CLONE_THREAD set there should be no
problems.
