The recent change to move the .bss outside of the image gives older
binutils (ld from eldk4.1/binutils-2.16) some headache:
ppc_85xx-ld: u-boot: Not enough room for program headers (allocated 3, need 4)
ppc_85xx-ld: final link failed: Bad value
We workaround it by being explicit about the program headers and not
assigning the .bss to a program header.

* Move to using absolute addressing always. Makes the scripts a bit more
portable and common
* Moved .bss after the end of the image. These allows us to have more
room in the resulting binary image for code and data.
* Removed .text object files that aren't really needed
* Make sure _end is 4-byte aligned as the .bss init code expects this.
(Its possible that the end of .bss isn't 4-byte aligned)

This commit gets rid of a huge amount of silly white-space issues.
Especially, all sequences of SPACEs followed by TAB characters get
removed (unless they appear in print statements).
Also remove all embedded "vim:" and "vi:" statements which hide
indentation problems.

The cross compiler is responsible for providing the correct libraries
and the logic to find the linking libraries.

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.
