The ERIC board appears to be unmaintained for more than 9 years. The
environment location has probably never been correct, and has been
definitely broken since for at least a year.  Drop it.

<title>Switch from archive libraries to partial linking</title>

Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils.  As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".

This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.

The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o".  This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.

This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols.  Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

Clean up Makefile, and drop a lot of the config.mk files on the way.

We now also automatically pick all boards that are listed in
boards.cfg (and with all configurations), so we can drop the redundant
entries from MAKEALL to avoid building these twice.

The change is currently needed to be able to remove the board
configuration scripting from the top level Makefile and replace it by
a simple, table driven script.

Moving this configuration setting into the "CONFIG_*" name space is
also desirable because it is needed if we ever should move forward to
a Kconfig driven configuration system.

This patch moves some ppc4xx related headers from the common include
directory (include/) to the powerpc specific one
(arch/powerpc/include/asm/). This way to common include directory is not
so cluttered with files.

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.

All these linker scripts can be removed since the new common ppc4xx
linker script should be able to handle all of those boards.

Please test and report problems. Thanks.

Some 4xx Makefiles didn't add $(SOBJ) to their board library. This was
no till now problem, since those boards included this object (init.o
most of the time) directly from their linker scripts. This patch clean
this up, so that all objects are now collected in the board library. This
is in preparation for the upcoming PPC4xx linker script consolidation.

The following changes allow U-Boot to fully relocate from flash to
RAM:
 - Remove linker scripts' .fixup sections from the .text section
 - Add -mrelocatable to PLATFORM_RELFLAGS for all boards
 - Define CONFIG_RELOC_FIXUP_WORKS for all boards

Previously, U-Boot would partially relocate, but statically initialized
pointers needed to be manually relocated.
