kbuild: fix sh64 section mismatch problems

There's a special .cranges section that is almost always generated,
with data being moved to the appropriate section by the linker at a later
stage.

To give a bit of background, sh64 has both a native SHmedia instruction
set (32-bit instructions) and SHcompact (which is compatability with
normal SH -- 16-bit, a massively reduced register set, etc.). code ranges
are emitted when we're using the 32-bit ABI, but not the 64-bit one.

It is a special staging section used solely by binutils where code with
different flags get placed (more specifically differing flags for input
and output sections), before being lazily merged by the linker.

The closest I've been able to find to documentation is:

It's an array of 8-byte Elf32_CRange structure given in
