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.

lowlevel_init.S: Assembler messages:
lowlevel_init.S:413: Warning: Pretending global symbol used as branch target is local.
Looking at codes, the `memtest' and `clearmem' are intentional mixed
use of `global symbols' and `label' for debugging purpose. To make it
build, just disable global-symbols-use for now. As a result `memtest'
still remains as unused, but leave it be...

This patch has been sent on:

Although mips_io_port_base is currently a part of IDE command, it is quite
fundamental for MIPS I/O port access such as in[bwl] and out[bwl]. So move
it to MIPS general part, and introduce `set_io_port_base()' from Linux.
This patch is triggered by multiple definition of `mips_io_port_base' build
error on gth2 (and tb0229 also needs this fix.)

Ensure that __got_start points to top of the `.got', and __got_end points
to bottom as well, so that we never fail to count num_got_entries.

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.
The TB5200 ("Tinybox") is a small baseboard for the TQM5200 module
integrated in a little aluminium case.
