    Make linking against libgcc configurable · 52b1bf2c

    Many (especially ARM) tool chains seem to come with broken or
    otherwise unusable (for the purposes of builing U-Boot) run-time
    support libraries `libgcc.a'. By using the "USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC"
    setting we allow to use alternative libraries instead.
    
    "USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC" can either be set as an environment variable in
    the shell, or as a command line argument when running "make", i. e.
    	$ make USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=yes
    or
    	$ USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=yes
    	$ export USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC
    	$ make
    
    The value of "USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC" is the name of the directory which
    contains the alternative run-time support library `libgcc.a'. The
    special value "yes" selects the directory $(OBJTREE)/lib_$(ARCH) .
    
    Note that not all architectures provide an alternative `libgcc.a' in
    their lib_$(ARCH) directories - so far, only ARM does.
