1aada9cd64 Fix all linker scripts for older binutils versions (pre-2.16)
Commit f62fb99941 fixed handling of all rodata sections by using a
wildcard combined with calls to ld's builtin functions SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT()
and SORT_BY_NAME().  Unfortunately these functions were only
introduced with biunutils version 2.16, so the modification broke
building with all tool chains using older binutils.

This patch makes it work again.  This is done by omitting the use of
these functions for such old tool chains.  This will result in
slightly larger target binaries, as the rodata sections are no longer
in optimal order alignment-wise which reauls in unused gaps, but the
effect was found to be insignificant - especially compared to the fact
that you cannot build U-Boot at all in the current state.

As ld seems to have no support for conditionals we run the linker
script through the C preprocessor which can be easily used to remove
the unwanted function calls.

Note that the C preprocessor must be run with the "-ansi" (or a
"-std=") option to make sure all the system-specific predefined
macros outside the reserved namespace are suppressed. Otherise, cpp
might for example substitute "powerpc" to "1", thus corrupting for
example "OUTPUT_ARCH(powerpc)" etc.

c70564e6b1 NAND: Fix cache and memory inconsistency issue
We load the secondary stage u-boot image from NAND to
system memory by nand_load, but we did not flush d-cache
to memory, nor invalidate i-cache before we jump to RAM.
When the system has cache enabled and the TLB/page attribute
of system memory is cacheable, it will cause issues.

- 83xx family is using the d-cache lock, so all of d-cache
  access is cache-inhibited. so you can't see the issue.
- 85xx family is using d-cache, i-cache enable, partial
  cache lock. you will see the issue.

This patch fixes the cache issue.

e4c0950854 NAND boot: MPC8313ERDB support
Note that with older board revisions, NAND boot may only work after a
power-on reset, and not after a warm reset.  I don't have a newer board
to test on; if you have a board with a 33MHz crystal, please let me know
if it works after a warm reset.
