samples: fix the avr32-unknown-none sample

Bizarely enough, binutils-2.18 fails to build when CONFIG_SHELL is set
to /bin/bash (although it has code to recognise bash and act accordingly).

Waht is really strange is that it does build when CONFIG_SHELL is set
to /bin/sh, *although* /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/bash. WTF?!?!

MPC8548, MPC8572).  It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent

gcc (4.3.1, for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate

Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to

make sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE

ABI/instructions from getting into the kernel (which is currently

unsupported).  At this time, the kernel build system only passes

-mno-spe by default (this should be fixed soon hopefully)."
