Certain Netgear devices use BE squashfs for the kernel image. As
squashfs4 only supports creating LE images, add squashfs (v3) into
the tools to be built for ath79.

Trying to use an LE squashfs (thus trying to use squashfs4 only for
building the image) for the kernel image results in the bootloader
barfing and stopping.

Hey Zoltan,

I tried to do exactly the same at time I noticed the issue. If I apply 
your patch, the following (and even more related) new warnings are shown 
on my system:

tools/Makefile:153: warning: overriding recipe for target 
'tools/squashfs/clean'
tools/Makefile:153: warning: ignoring old recipe for target 
'tools/squashfs/clean'

tools/Makefile:153: warning: ignoring old recipe for target 
'tools/squashfs/prepare'
tools/Makefile:153: warning: overriding recipe for target 
'tools/squashfs/compile'

I've no idea what is going wrong. Instead I've the following change in 
my local tree since a few days (but didn't managed to send it yet):

Using this approach the squashfs3 binary is build for ar71xx and ath79 
without these warning.

How about this instead:
tools-$(CONFIG_TARGET_ar71xx)$(CONFIG_TARGET_ath79) += squashfs

I like felix proposed solution more than what I had and committed it 
instead.
