The mudflap library is only useful if one uses the -fmudflap gcc
option, to do more checks on pointers/arrays. This commit adds an
option to enable/disable mudflap support at the gcc level. By default,
it is disabled, which saves a little bit of build time compared to the
default of gcc which consists in enabling mudflap support.

Since mudflap is now disabled by default, and ensured to be enabled on
some platforms where it is not available, some gcc.mk code that was
used to disable mudflap in problematic configurations can be removed.

Whether -fmudflap is used when building is left to the user.

Space missing before !BR2_powerpc_SPE

Committed with this fixed, thanks.

+	  libmudflap is a gcc library used for the mudflap pointer
+	  debugging functionality. It is only needed if you intend to
+	  use the -fmudflap gcc flag.
+
+	  See http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Mudflap_Pointer_Debugging and
+	  the help of the gcc -fmudflap option for more details.
+
+	  If you're unsure, leave this option disabled.
