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.

By now, the majority of architectures have working relocation
support, so the few remaining architectures have become exceptions.
To make this more obvious, we make working relocation now the default
case, and flag the remaining cases with CONFIG_NEEDS_MANUAL_RELOC.

CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_END was a misnomer as it suggests this might be
some end address; to make the meaning more clear we rename it into
CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE
No other code changes are performed in this patch, only minor editing
of white space (due to the changed length) and the comments was done,
where noticed.
Note that the code for the PATI and cmi_mpc5xx board configurations
looks seriously broken. Last known maintainers on Cc:

The PCU_E board has long reached EOL, and support for it is no longer
relevant in current versions of U-Boot. Remove it.

This patch removes the completely unused CONFIG_SERIAL_SOFTWARE_FIFO
feature from U-Boot. It has only been implemented for PPC4xx and was not
used at all. So let's remove it and make the code smaller and cleaner.

fixup_cmdtable() did all work for fixing up the cmdtable,
if CONFIG_RELOC_FIXUP_WORKS is not defined.
CONFIG_RELOC_FIXUP_WORKS is missing for i386! I talked
with Graeme Russ, and he will fix this soon.
Portions of this work were supported by funding from
the CE Linux Forum.

While running from flash, i. e. before relocation, we have only a
limited C runtime environment without writable data segment. In this
phase, some configurations (for example with environment in EEPROM)
must not use the normal getenv(), but a special function. This
function had been called getenv_r(), with the idea that the "_r"
suffix would mean the same as in the _r_eentrant versions of some of
the C library functions (for example getdate vs. getdate_r, getgrent
vs. getgrent_r, etc.).
Unfortunately this was a misleading name, as in U-Boot the "_r"
generally means "running from RAM", i. e. _after_ relocation.
To avoid confusion, rename into getenv_f() [as "running from flash"]

The hush shell dynamically allocates (and re-allocates) memory for the
argument strings in the "char *argv[]" argument vector passed to
commands. Any code that modifies these pointers will cause serious
corruption of the malloc data structures and crash U-Boot, so make
sure the compiler can check that no such modifications are being done
by changing the code into "char * const argv[]".
This modification is the result of debugging a strange crash caused
after adding a new command, which used the following argument
processing code which has been working perfectly fine in all Unix
systems since version 6 - but not so in U-Boot:
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
/* ====> */ while (*++*argv) {
switch (**argv) {
case 'd':
debug++;
break;
...
default:
usage ();
}
}
}
...
}
The line marked "====>" will corrupt the malloc data structures and
usually cause U-Boot to crash when the next command gets executed by
the shell. With the modification, the compiler will prevent this with
an
error: increment of read-only location '*argv'
N.B.: The code above can be trivially rewritten like this:
while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
char *arg = *argv;
while (*++arg) {
switch (*arg) {
...

Also move lib_$ARCH/config.mk to arch/$ARCH/config.mk
This change is intended to clean up the top-level directory structure
and more closely mimic Linux's directory organization.
