I believe the fix we used was:
(commit fe297dde5ae8f8bf67d3a87759289a99b48ecb2c angstrom-linux)

$ git show 41ec30ddc42912fec133a533b924e9c56ecda8f9

    OMAP4: enable smc instruction in new assembler versions

    New assemblers need -march=armv7-a+sec on command line or
    .arch_extension sec inline to enable use of the smc instruction.

    This patch uses as-instr to check the latter to conditionally
    enable the former in AFLAGS for files that use smc.

    Checked on both old and new binutils to verify that it does
    not break old versions.
