It's been reported that function tracing does not work on the sh architecture

because gcc 4.8 for superH does not support -m32, and the recordmcount.pl
 script adds "-m32" when re-compiling the object files with the mcount
 locations.
 
 I was not able to reproduce this problem, as it seems that -m32 works fine
 for my cross compiler gcc 4.6.3, but I have to assume that -m32 was
 deprecated somewhere between 4.6 and 4.8. As it still seems to compile
 fine without -m32, I have no reason not to add this patch, as having
 -m32 seems to cause trouble for others.
