All architectures but MIPS are using --gc-sections on final linking.
This patch introduces that feature for MIPS to reduce the memory and
flash footprint.

Commit 44c6e65 "rename _end to __bss_end__ broke building of a large
number of systems (at least all PowerPC?):

libstubs.o: In function `app_startup':
examples/standalone/stubs.c:197: undefined reference to `__bss_end__'

The rename should not be done for the files in the
examples/standalone/ directory, as these are not using the code from
start.S, but do their own BSS clearing, and either use their own
linker scripts or the ones provided by the compilers.

Currently, _end is used for end of BSS section.  We want _end to mean
end of u-boot image, so we rename _end to __bss_end__ first.

From the document, if set all arguments in "OUTPUT_FORMAT" to
"tradbigmips", then even add "-EL" to gcc we still get EB format.

pb1x00 is only used in Little-endian, so its default endian should be
set to LE.

The current files in examples are all standalone application examples,
so put them in their own subdirectory for organizational purposes
