33ee4c9233 PowerPC: Move -fPIC flag to common place
The -fPIC flag belongs with -mrelocatable, move it there.
Also change -fPIC to -fpic as this produces smaller
binaries.
However, currently -mrelocatable promotes -fpic to -fPIC, a
fix for this is in upcoming gcc 4.6 or you can apply this small
patch to gcc:

c08e5cf7c7 POWERPC: enable --gc-sections and -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections
The switch from archive libraries to partial linking has introduced a
number of problems, that are non-trivial to solve.  For example, it is
no longer possible to include individual object files in the linker
script as we did before for example in the case of boards with
embedded environment to fill up the gap caused by the need to align
the environment on flash erase block boundaries.

The best (but unfortunately not easiest) approach to address this
problem is to enable -ffunction-sections (and -fdata-sections) so
we can again (and even in much finer granularity) place certain code
where we want it.  When doing this step, it seems only consequent to
also add --gc-sections which has the added benefit of reducing the
memory footprint of the U-Boot image (both in flash and in RAM).

Unfortunately, this requires changes to a lot of linker scripts.

fa11dbe56d arch/powerpc/*/config.mk: make CONFIG_SYS_LDSCRIPT settings work
As we try to get rid of board specific config.mk files we must
provide a way for board specific settings of the LDSCRIPT variable
(path to the linker script) where needed.

We now implement the following hierarchy:

- Highest priority has a "#define CONFIG_SYS_LDCONFIG" in the board
  config file.
- If CONFIG_SYS_LDCONFIG is not set, and the system is booting from
  NAND (CONFIG_NAND_SPL is set), then a board specific linker
  script board/$(BOARDDIR)/u-boot-nand.lds gets used.
- If we are not booting from NAND, we test if a processor specific
  linker script arch/powerpc/cpu/$(CPU)/u-boot.lds exists; if so we
  use that.
- As default, arch/powerpc/config.mk gets used.

a47a12becf Move arch/ppc to arch/powerpc
As discussed on the list, move "arch/ppc" to "arch/powerpc" to
better match the Linux directory structure.

Please note that this patch also changes the "ppc" target in
MAKEALL to "powerpc" to match this new infrastructure. But "ppc"
is kept as an alias for now, to not break compatibility with
scripts using this name.
