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.
before we can access it; add delay in case we are faster (with no
CF card inserted)
* Cleanup of some init functions
* Make sure SCC Ethernet is always stopped by the time we boot Linux
to avoid Linux crashes by early packets coming in.
* Accelerate flash accesses on LWMON board by using buffered writes
- 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)
- 16/32 MB and 50/80 MHz support with auto-detection for IP860
- ETH05 and BEDBUG support for CU824
- added support for MicroSys CPC45
- new BOOTROM/FLASH0 and DOC base for PM826
* Patch by Robert Schwebel, 12 Mar 2003:
Fix the chpart command on innokom board
* Name cleanup:
mv include/asm-i386/ppcboot-i386.h include/asm-i386/u-boot-i386.h
s/PPCBoot/U-Boot/ in some files
s/pImage/uImage/ in some files
* Patch by Detlev Zundel, 15 Jan 2003:
Fix '' command line quoting
* Patch by The LEOX team, 19 Jan 2003:
- add support for the ELPT860 board
- add support for Dallas ds164x RTC
