binutils: disable format hardening

Browse source 
This fails for me:

> compressed_output.cc:320:20: error: format string is not a string literal (potentially insecure) [-Werror,-Wformat-security]
>       gold_warning(_("not compressing section data: zlib error"));
>                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
> ./system.h:40:20: note: expanded from macro '_'
> # define _(String) gettext (String)
>                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
> compressed_output.cc:320:20: note: treat the string as an argument to avoid this
>       gold_warning(_("not compressing section data: zlib error"));
>                    ^
>                    "%s",
> ./system.h:40:20: note: expanded from macro '_'
> # define _(String) gettext (String)
                   ^

Disabling format hardening should hopefully be harmless here. If it's a problem we can also make it conditional.
