It appears that with recent versions of GCC the explicit
"-mhard-float" command line option takes precedence over the
``asm(".gnu_attribute 4, 2");'' in the source file, so this no longer
helps to avoid the warnings we get when linking code that uses FP
instructions with other code that was built using soft-float.
We can remove the ".gnu_attribute" (which appears to carry no other
information, at least so far) from the object files, but we also have
to make sure we don't pull in the __gcc_qsub() and __gcc_qmul()
functions from the standard libgcc, as these would again "infect" our
linking. We copy this code from:
gcc-4.2.2/gcc/config/rs6000/darwin-ldouble.c
This old version was chosen because it was still available under a
compatible license (GCC v2+). The file was stripped down to the
needed parts, and reformatted so it passes checkpatch with only one
warning (do not add new typedefs).

If we built POST on PPC's that didn't enable CONFIG_SYS_POST_FPU we'd
get the following warning with newer toolchains:
powerpc-linux-gnu-ld: Warning: lib_powerpc/fpu/libpostpowerpcfpu.o
uses hard float, libpost.o uses soft float
We actually worked around this sometime ago with the following commit:
commit ce82ff0538

FPU POST: fix warnings when building with 2.18 binutils
However, this only took into effect if CONFIG_SYS_POST_FPU was enabled.
We can simply move the GNU_FPOST_ATTR out of the CONFIG_SYS_POST_FPU
ifdef block to address the issue.

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.

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.
