Sorry, this was my fault.  I used the flags --with-gnu-{as,ld} instead of
--with-{as,ld} to specify paths to the cross assembler and linker, but it
turns out that the former pair of flags are boolean (i.e., telling GCC
whether the tools are GNU or not), and the latter are the ones that accept a
path.

So, llvm-gcc wasn't finding the correct cross-tool assembler and was using
/usr/bin/as instead, which doesn't support ARM, and hence doesn't accept
"-meabi=4".  I've fixed this in SVN.

The reason I didn't come across this issue is that I was using llvm-gcc
phase-by-phase (as you've found it works), instead of generating binaries
directly from llvm-gcc.
