Modify exports.h to remove its dependencies on other files, thus
enabling standalone apps to require only exports.h from the U-Boot
source tree. This appears to be the intent based on the following

Commit 44c6e65 "rename _end to __bss_end__ broke building of a large
number of systems (at least all PowerPC?):
libstubs.o: In function `app_startup':
examples/standalone/stubs.c:197: undefined reference to `__bss_end__'
The rename should not be done for the files in the
examples/standalone/ directory, as these are not using the code from
start.S, but do their own BSS clearing, and either use their own
linker scripts or the ones provided by the compilers.

Currently, _end is used for end of BSS section. We want _end to mean
end of u-boot image, so we rename _end to __bss_end__ first.

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) {
...

The "-ffixed-r15" option doesn't work well for gcc4. Since we
don't use gp for small data with option "-G0", we can use gp
as global data pointer. This allows compiler to use r15. It
is necessary for gcc4 to work properly.

Since the Blackfin ABI favors higher scratch registers by default, use the
last scratch register (P3) for global data rather than the first (P5).
This allows the compiler's register allocator to use higher number scratch
P registers, which in turn better matches the Blackfin instruction set,
which reduces the size of U-Boot by more than 1024 bytes...

The current files in examples are all standalone application examples,
so put them in their own subdirectory for organizational purposes
