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.

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.
* Fix problems in memory test on some boards (which was not
non-destructive as intended)
* Patch by Gary Jennejohn, 28 Oct 2003:
Change fs/fat/fat.c to put I/O buffers in BSS instead on the stack
to prevent stack overflow on ARM systems
- Correct flash and JFFS2 support for MPC8260ADS
- fix PVR values and clock generation for PowerQUICC II family
(8270/8275/8280)
* Patch by Bernhard Kuhn, 08 Jul 2003:
- add support for M68K targets
* Patch by Ken Chou, 3 Jul:
- Fix PCI config table for A3000
- Fix iobase for natsemi.c
(PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_0 is the IO base register for DP83815)
* Allow to enable "slow" POST routines by key press on power-on
* Fix temperature dependend switching of LCD backlight on LWMON
* Tweak output format for LWMON
- 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)
