Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils. As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".
This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.
The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o". This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.
This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols. Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

Also move lib_$ARCH/config.mk to arch/$ARCH/config.mk
This change is intended to clean up the top-level directory structure
and more closely mimic Linux's directory organization.

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.

Many (especially ARM) tool chains seem to come with broken or
otherwise unusable (for the purposes of builing U-Boot) run-time
support libraries `libgcc.a'. By using the "USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC"
setting we allow to use alternative libraries instead.
"USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC" can either be set as an environment variable in
the shell, or as a command line argument when running "make", i. e.
$ make USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=yes
or
$ USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=yes
$ export USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC
$ make
The value of "USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC" is the name of the directory which
contains the alternative run-time support library `libgcc.a'. The
special value "yes" selects the directory $(OBJTREE)/lib_$(ARCH) .
Note that not all architectures provide an alternative `libgcc.a' in
their lib_$(ARCH) directories - so far, only ARM does.

This commit gets rid of a huge amount of silly white-space issues.
Especially, all sequences of SPACEs followed by TAB characters get
removed (unless they appear in print statements).
Also remove all embedded "vim:" and "vi:" statements which hide
indentation problems.

Implementation of the do_bootm_linux() and other bootm helper routines is
architecture specific code. As such it resides in lib_<arch> directories
in files named <arch>_linux.c
This patch renames those files to a more clear and accurate
lib_<arch>/bootm.c form.
List of the renamed files:
lib_arm/armlinux.c -> lib_arm/bootm.c
lib_avr32/avr32_linux.c -> lib_avr32/bootm.c
lib_blackfin/bf533_linux.c -> lib_blackfin/bootm.c
lib_i386/i386_linux.c -> lib_i386/bootm.c
lib_m68k/m68k_linux.c -> lib_m68k/bootm.c
lib_microblaze/microblaze_linux.c -> lib_microblaze/bootm.c
lib_mips/mips_linux.c -> lib_mips/bootm.c
lib_nios/nios_linux.c -> lib_nios/bootm.c
lib_nios2/nios_linux.c -> lib_nios2/bootm.c
lib_ppc/ppc_linux.c -> lib_ppc/bootm.c
lib_sh/sh_linux.c -> lib_sh/bootm.c

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.
- Add IXP4xx NPE ethernet MAC support
- Add support for Intel IXDPG425 board
- Add support for Prodrive PDNB3 board
- Add IRQ support

[This patch does not include cpu/ixp/npe/IxNpeMicrocode.c which still
sufferes from licensing issues. Blame Intel.]
