09c2e90c11 unify version_string
This patch removes the architecture specific implementation of
version_string where possible. Some architectures use a special place
and therefore we provide U_BOOT_VERSION_STRING definition and a common
weak symbol version_string.

89ffa8dbb5 Print compiler and linker version with the version command
After years of unsuccessful research I've finally shamelessly stolen other
peoples intellectual properties to present the all-new and world-changing
updated version command:
-
U-Boot>> version

U-Boot 2010.12-00014-g7435056-dirty (Jan 18 2011 - 23:19:38)
MyBoard
gcc (GCC) 0.42 (Distro foobar)
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 0.314159265
-
May the toolchain bugs rest in peace.

54841ab50c Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified.
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) {
			...

6b8f5ad10f command.c: Break commands out to appropriate cmd_*.c files
command.c should contain common code related to commands, not
miscellaneous command implementations.
