We have an optimized sha1 routine (arch/arm/lib/sha1.S) meant to
override the generic one in lib/sha1.c.

link argument list and therefore the architecture specific lib functions
are not picked up before the generic versions.
This patch is a quick fix to change that ordering for ARM. Here's what
the kbuild maintainer had to say about it (was also CC'd on lkml):
