How about something like this:

A warning will be emitted by make when descending into the arch/arm/crypto
directory, but only if any ARMv8 Crypto modules were in fact selected.

/home/ard/linux-2.6/arch/arm/crypto/Makefile:22: These ARMv8 Crypto Extensions modules need binutils 2.23 or higher
/home/ard/linux-2.6/arch/arm/crypto/Makefile:23: aes-arm-ce.o sha1-arm-ce.o sha2-arm-ce.o ghash-arm-ce.o


----------------->8------------------
Old versions of binutils (before 2.23) do not yet understand the
crypto-neon-fp-armv8 fpu instructions, and an attempt to build these
files results in a build failure:

arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-core.S:133: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `vld1.8 {q10-q11},[ip]!'
arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-core.S:133: Error: bad instruction `aese.8 q0,q8'
arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-core.S:133: Error: bad instruction `aesmc.8 q0,q0'
arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-core.S:133: Error: bad instruction `aese.8 q0,q9'
arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-core.S:133: Error: bad instruction `aesmc.8 q0,q0'

Since the affected versions are still in widespread use, and this breaks
'allmodconfig' builds, we should try to at least get a successful kernel
build. Unfortunately, I could not come up with a way to make the Kconfig
symbol depend on the binutils version, which would be the nicest solution.

Instead, this patch uses the 'as-instr' Kbuild macro to find out whether
the support is present in the assembler, and otherwise emits a non-fatal
warning indicating which selected modules could not be built.

[ard.biesheuvel:
 - omit modules entirely instead of building empty ones if binutils is too old
 - update commit log accordingly]

It would be good to have confirmation that it fixes the actual
symptom, so yes, more testing please.
But I think the patch itself needs to go via Herbert's tree
