f62fb99941 Fix all linker script to handle all rodata sections
A recent gcc added a new unaligned rodata section called '.rodata.str1.1',
which needs to be added the the linker script.  Instead of just adding this
one section, we use a wildcard ".rodata*" to get all rodata linker section
gcc has now and might add in the future.

However, '*(.rodata*)' by itself will result in sub-optimal section
ordering.  The sections will be sorted by object file, which causes extra
padding between the unaligned rodata.str.1.1 of one object file and the
aligned rodata of the next object file.  This is easy to fix by using the
SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT command.

This patch has not be tested one most of the boards modified.  Some boards
have a linker script that looks something like this:

*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.rodata)
*(.rodata.str1.4)
*(.eh_frame)

I change this to:

*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.eh_frame)
*(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*)))

This means the start of rodata will no longer be 16 bytes aligned.
However, the boundary between text and rodata/eh_frame is still aligned to
16 bytes, which is what I think the real purpose of the ALIGN call is.

c11528083e mpc85xx: workaround old binutils bug
The recent change to move the .bss outside of the image gives older
binutils (ld from eldk4.1/binutils-2.16) some headache:

ppc_85xx-ld: u-boot: Not enough room for program headers (allocated 3, need 4)
ppc_85xx-ld: final link failed: Bad value

We workaround it by being explicit about the program headers and not
assigning the .bss to a program header.

f0ff885ca6 mpc85xx: Update linker scripts for Freescale boards
* Move to using absolute addressing always.  Makes the scripts a bit more
  portable and common
* Moved .bss after the end of the image.  These allows us to have more
  room in the resulting binary image for code and data.
* Removed .text object files that aren't really needed
* Make sure _end is 4-byte aligned as the .bss init code expects this.
  (Its possible that the end of .bss isn't 4-byte aligned)

53677ef18e Big white-space cleanup.
This commit gets rid of a huge amount of silly white-space issues.
Especially, all sequences of SPACEs followed by TAB characters get
removed (unless they appear in print statements).

Also remove all embedded "vim:" and "vi:" statements which hide
indentation problems.

3d36be0300 Remove all the search paths from the .lds files.
The cross compiler is responsible for providing the correct libraries
and the logic to find the linking libraries.

64134f0112 Fix linker scripts: add NOLOAD atribute to .bss/.sbss sections
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.

Minor path corrections needed to ensure buildability.
