Modifications are based on the linux kernel approach and
support two use cases:
1) Add O= to the make command line
'make O=/tmp/build all'
2) Set environement variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'make'
The second approach can also be used with a MAKEALL script
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'./MAKEALL'
Command line 'O=' setting overrides BUILD_DIR environent variable.
When none of the above methods is used the local build is performed and
the object files are placed in the source directory.
Old, obsolete and duplicated code was cleaned up and replace by the
new partitioning method. There are two possible approaches now:
* define a single, static partition
* use mtdparts command line option and dynamic partitioning
Default is static partitioning.
ARM memory layout fixes: the abort-stack is now set up in the
correct RAM area, and the BSS is zeroed out as it should be.
Furthermore, the magic variables 'armboot_end' and 'armboot_end_data'
of the linker scripts are replaced by '__bss_start' and '_end',
resp., which is a further step to eliminate unnecessary differences
between the implementation of the CPU architectures.
- fix spelling errors
- set GD_FLG_DEVINIT flag only after device function pointers
are valid
- Allow CFG_ALT_MEMTEST on systems where address zero isn't
writeable
- enable 3.rd UART (ST-UART) on PXA(XScale) CPUs
- trigger watchdog while waiting in serial driver
- remove trailing white space, trailing empty lines, C++ comments, etc.
- split cmd_boot.c (separate cmd_bdinfo.c and cmd_load.c)

* Patch by Kai-Uwe Blöm, 12 Mar 2003:
Cleanup & bug fixes for JFFS2 code:
- the memory mangement was broken. It caused havoc on malloc by
writing beyond the block boundaries.
- the length calculation for files was wrong, sometimes resulting
in short file reads.
- data copying now optionally takes fragment version numbers into
account, to avoid copying from older data.
See doc/README.JFFS2 for details.
- 16/32 MB and 50/80 MHz support with auto-detection for IP860
- ETH05 and BEDBUG support for CU824
- added support for MicroSys CPC45
- new BOOTROM/FLASH0 and DOC base for PM826
