With recent toolchain versions, some boards would not build because
or errors like this one (here for ocotea board when building with
ELDK 4.2 beta):
ppc_4xx-ld: section .bootpg [fffff000 -> fffff23b] overlaps section .bss [fffee900 -> fffff8ab]
For many boards, the .bss section is big enough that it wraps around
at the end of the address space (0xFFFFFFFF), so the problem will not
be visible unless you use a 64 bit tool chain for development. On
some boards however, changes to the code size (due to different
optimizations) we bail out with section overlaps like above.
The fix is to add the NOLOAD attribute to the .bss and .sbss
sections, telling the linker that .bss does not consume any space in
the image.

- Show on the Status LEDs, some States of the board.
- Get the MAC addresses from the EEProm
- use PREBOOT
- use the CF on the board.
- check the U-Boot image in the Flash with a SHA1
checksum.
- use dynamic TLB entries generation for the SDRAM

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.
- remove trailing white space, trailing empty lines, C++ comments, etc.
- split cmd_boot.c (separate cmd_bdinfo.c and cmd_load.c)
* Patches by Kenneth Johansson, 25 Jun 2003:
- major rework of command structure
(work done mostly by Michal Cendrowski and Joakim Kristiansen)
* Patch by Murray Jensen, 24 Jun 2003:
- make sure to use only U-boot provided header files
- fix problems with ".rodata.str1.4" section as used by GCC-3.x
instead CFG_MONITOR_LEN is now only used to determine _at_compile_
_time_ (!) if the environment is embedded within the U-Boot image,
or in a separate flash sector.
* Cleanup CFG_DER #defines in config files (wd maintained only)
Fix misc problems with AmigaOne support
* Patch by Chris Hallinan, 3 Dec 2002:
minor cleanup to the MPC8245 EPIC driver
* Patch by Pierre Aubert , 28 Nov 2002
Add support for external (SIU) interrupts on MPC8xx
* Patch by Pierre Aubert , 28 Nov 2002
Fix nested syscalls bug in standalone applications
* Patch by David Müller, 27 Nov 2002:
fix output of "pciinfo" command for CardBus bridge devices.
* Fix bug in TQM8260 board detection - boards got stuck when board ID
was not readable
