U-Boot Makefiles contain a number of tests for compiler features etc.
which so far are executed again and again. On some architectures
(especially ARM) this results in a large number of calls to gcc.
This patch makes sure to run such tests only once, thus largely
reducing the number of "execve" system calls.
Example: number of "execve" system calls for building the "P2020DS"
(Power Architecture) and "qong" (ARM) boards, measured as:
-> strace -f -e trace=execve -o /tmp/foo ./MAKEALL <board>
-> grep execve /tmp/foo | wc -l
Before: After: Reduction:
==================================
P2020DS 20555 15205 -26%
qong 31692 14490 -54%
As a result, built times are significantly reduced, typically by
30...50%.

For some time there have been repeated reports about build problems
with some ARM (cross) tool chains. Especially issues about
(in)compatibility with the tool chain provided runtime support
library libgcc.a caused to add and support a private implementation
of such runtime support code in U-Boot. A closer look at the code
indicated that some of these issues are actually home-made. This
patch attempts to clean up some of the most obvious problems and make
building of U-Boot with different tool chains easier:
- Even though all ARM systems basicy used the same compiler options
to select a specific ABI from the tool chain, the code for this was
distributed over all cpu/*/config.mk files. We move this one level
up into lib_arm/config.mk instead.
- So far, we only checked if "-mapcs-32" was supported by the tool
chain; if yes, this was used, if not, "-mabi=apcs-gnu" was
selected, no matter if the tool chain actually understood this
option. There was no support for EABI conformant tool chains.
This patch implements the following logic:
1) If the tool chain supports
"-mabi=aapcs-linux -mno-thumb-interwork"
we use these options (EABI conformant tool chain).
2) Otherwise, we check first if
"-mapcs-32"
is supported, and then check for
"-mabi=apcs-gnu"
If one test succeeds, we use the first found option.
3) In case 2), we also test if "-mno-thumb-interwork", and use
this if the test succeeds. [For "-mabi=aapcs-linux" we set
"-mno-thumb-interwork" mandatorily.]
This way we use a similar logic for the compile options as the
Linux kernel does.
- Some EABI conformant tool chains cause external references to
utility functions like raise(); such functions are provided in the
new file lib_arm/eabi_compat.c
Note that lib_arm/config.mk gets parsed several times, so we must
make sure to add eabi_compat.o only once to the linker list.
