With the relatively recent commit http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/meta/recipes-support/db?id=f4e8e9242c5df095b52688b083df3c9d36e7144b
some nios2 builds (uboot, core-image-minimal, etc) were broken due to db trying to
use ARM instructions in mutexes. The reason was db "configure" used the cached entry 
from nios2-linux (which was incorrect).  So the remedy was to remove the incorrect cached entry
and let db "configure" figure out which is the proper mutex to use. 
Besides, I don't even know if nios2/gcc-assembly exists.
Also, none of other Linux info files provides this entry (db_cv_mutex).
