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.
* Cleanup confusing use of CONFIG_ETH*ADDR - ust his only to
pre-define a MAC address; use CONFIG_HAS_ETH* to enable support for
additional ethernet addresses.
* Cleanup drivers/i82365.c - avoid duplication of code
* Fix bogus "cannot span across banks" flash error message
* Add support for CompactFlash for the CPC45 Board.
Set the PCI class code for JSE board as part of PCI interface setup
* Patch by Michael Bendzick, 15 Jul 2004:
Fix problem with writes with odd sizes in drivers/cfi_flash.c when
CFG_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE is set
