Linker needs to use the proper endian/bfd flags even when doing partial linking.
LDFLAGS_u-boot sets linker option which is called it when U-boot is built
(u-boot final).
LDFLAGS sets necessary option by partial linking (use in cmd_link_o_target).

The switch from archive libraries to partial linking has introduced a
number of problems, that are non-trivial to solve. For example, it is
no longer possible to include individual object files in the linker
script as we did before for example in the case of boards with
embedded environment to fill up the gap caused by the need to align
the environment on flash erase block boundaries.
The best (but unfortunately not easiest) approach to address this
problem is to enable -ffunction-sections (and -fdata-sections) so
we can again (and even in much finer granularity) place certain code
where we want it. When doing this step, it seems only consequent to
also add --gc-sections which has the added benefit of reducing the
memory footprint of the U-Boot image (both in flash and in RAM).
Unfortunately, this requires changes to a lot of linker scripts.

As we try to get rid of board specific config.mk files we must
provide a way for board specific settings of the LDSCRIPT variable
(path to the linker script) where needed.
We now implement the following hierarchy:
- Highest priority has a "#define CONFIG_SYS_LDCONFIG" in the board
config file.
- If CONFIG_SYS_LDCONFIG is not set, and the system is booting from
NAND (CONFIG_NAND_SPL is set), then a board specific linker
script board/$(BOARDDIR)/u-boot-nand.lds gets used.
- If we are not booting from NAND, we test if a processor specific
linker script arch/powerpc/cpu/$(CPU)/u-boot.lds exists; if so we
use that.
- As default, arch/powerpc/config.mk gets used.

As discussed on the list, move "arch/ppc" to "arch/powerpc" to
better match the Linux directory structure.
Please note that this patch also changes the "ppc" target in
MAKEALL to "powerpc" to match this new infrastructure. But "ppc"
is kept as an alias for now, to not break compatibility with
scripts using this name.
