The new ORC unwinder breaks the build of a 64-bit kernel on a 32-bit
host. Building the kernel on a i386 or x32 host fails with:
orc_dump.c: In function 'orc_dump':
orc_dump.c:105:26: error: passing argument 2 of 'elf_getshdrnum' from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
if (elf_getshdrnum(elf, &nr_sections)) {

Fix the build failure.
Another problem is that if the user specifies HOSTCC or HOSTLD
variables, they are ignored in the objtool makefile. Change the
Makefile to respect these variables.

Now that objtool knows the states of all registers on the stack for each
instruction, it's straightforward to generate debuginfo for an unwinder
to use.
Instead of generating DWARF, generate a new format called ORC, which is
more suitable for an in-kernel unwinder. See
Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for a more detailed description of
this new debuginfo format and why it's preferable to DWARF.
