This effectively reverts 7563dc645853 ("powerpc: Work around gcc's -fno-omit-frame-pointer bug"), a workaround for a bug in GCC 4.1.3 when building 2.6.26 kernel.
The flag is not supported by clang, but reading the history of the bug[1] suggests it is no longer required by supported GCC versions, with GCC 4.6 now being the minimum.
