Busybox static complation issue with GCC 4.5 for ARMv7 - __tls_get_addr undefined

We tried compiling busybox statically for ARMv7 and __tls_get_addr was
undefined. As handled in other architectures, we added the
__tls_get_addr definition for ARM to resolve the issue.

Kindly review this and include in next release. Thanks,

Regards,
