For some time there have been repeated reports about build problems
with some ARM (cross) tool chains. Especially issues about
(in)compatibility with the tool chain provided runtime support
library libgcc.a caused to add and support a private implementation
of such runtime support code in U-Boot. A closer look at the code
indicated that some of these issues are actually home-made. This
patch attempts to clean up some of the most obvious problems and make
building of U-Boot with different tool chains easier:
- Even though all ARM systems basicy used the same compiler options
to select a specific ABI from the tool chain, the code for this was
distributed over all cpu/*/config.mk files. We move this one level
up into lib_arm/config.mk instead.
- So far, we only checked if "-mapcs-32" was supported by the tool
chain; if yes, this was used, if not, "-mabi=apcs-gnu" was
selected, no matter if the tool chain actually understood this
option. There was no support for EABI conformant tool chains.
This patch implements the following logic:
1) If the tool chain supports
"-mabi=aapcs-linux -mno-thumb-interwork"
we use these options (EABI conformant tool chain).
2) Otherwise, we check first if
"-mapcs-32"
is supported, and then check for
"-mabi=apcs-gnu"
If one test succeeds, we use the first found option.
3) In case 2), we also test if "-mno-thumb-interwork", and use
this if the test succeeds. [For "-mabi=aapcs-linux" we set
"-mno-thumb-interwork" mandatorily.]
This way we use a similar logic for the compile options as the
Linux kernel does.
- Some EABI conformant tool chains cause external references to
utility functions like raise(); such functions are provided in the
new file lib_arm/eabi_compat.c
Note that lib_arm/config.mk gets parsed several times, so we must
make sure to add eabi_compat.o only once to the linker list.

The pxa255_idp being an old unmaintained board showed several issues:
1. CONFIG_INIT_CRITICAL was still defined.
2. Neither CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION nor CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION was defined.
3. Symbol flash_addr was undeclared.
4. The boards lowlevel_init function was still called memsetup.
5. The TEXT_BASE was still 0xa3000000 rather than 0xa3080000.
6. Using -march=armv5 instead of -march=armv5te resulted in lots of
'target CPU does not support interworking' warnings on recent compilers.
7. The PXA's serial driver redefined FFUART, BTUART and STUART used as
indexes rather than the register definitions from the pxa-regs header
file. Renamed them to FFUART_INDEX, BTUART_INDEX and STUART_INDEX to
avoid any ambiguities.
8. There were several redefinition warnings concerning ICMR, OSMR3,
OSCR, OWER, OIER, RCSR and CCCR in the PXA's assembly start file.
9. The board configuration file was rather outdated.
10. The part header file defined the vendor, product and revision arrays
as unsigned chars instead of just chars in the block_dev_desc_t
structure.

Correct addessing errors in platform files.
Split off common core module data from Integrator header files to
include/armcoremodule.h.
Patch by Peter Pearse, 04 Oct 2005
- add u-boot.hex target in the top level Makefile
- add support for the UNSW/NICTA PLEB 2 board (pleb2)
- use -mtune=xscale and -march=armv5 options for PXA
