These two patches allow arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc 4.7.3 from Ubuntu
13.04 to build a booting mako kernel image.

Patch 1)
scripts/gcc-wrapper is a python tool that is used in some
Qualcomm/Code Aurora kernels containing a whitelist of warning
messages generated during the build and fail on any non-listed one.
gcc 4.7 triggers many new warnings so I rather disabled the wrapper
itself. This way it is also in line with the rest of non-Qualcomm
kernels trees.
Patch 2)
Do not specify the inline qualifier for some functions that cannot be
inlined by 4.7 and thus break building.

The Linaro 4.7.2 gcc bundled with the Ubuntu Touch sources fails
though as it defaults to using the gold linker (and has no support for
-fuse-ld=bfd as Linaro gcc 4.8.1 has) and the gold linker cannot
correctly link the kernel at the moment.

cheers
