Summary:
The Freescale e500v2 PowerPC core does not use a standard FPU.
Instead, it uses a Signal Processing Engine (SPE)--a DSP-style vector processor
unit, which doubles as a FPU. The PowerPC SPE ABI is incompatible with the
stock powerpc ABI, so a new MACHINE_ARCH was created to deal with this.
Additionaly, the SPE opcodes overlap with Altivec, so these are mutually
exclusive. Taking advantage of this fact, a new file, powerpc/booke/spe.c, was
created with the same function set as in powerpc/powerpc/altivec.c, so it
becomes effectively a drop-in replacement. setjmp/longjmp were modified to save
the upper 32-bits of the now-64-bit GPRs (upper 32-bits are only accessible by
the SPE).
Note: This does _not_ support the SPE in the e500v1, as the e500v1 SPE does not
support double-precision floating point.
Also, without a new MACHINE_ARCH it would be impossible to provide binary
packages which utilize the SPE.
Additionally, no work has been done to support ports, work is needed for this.
This also means no newer gcc can yet be used. However, gcc's powerpc support
has been refactored which would make adding a powerpcspe-freebsd target very
easy.
Test Plan:
This was lightly tested on a RouterBoard RB800 and an AmigaOne A1222
(P1022-based) board, compiled against the new ABI. Base system utilities
(/bin/sh, /bin/ls, etc) still function appropriately, the system is able to boot
multiuser.

This OBJS_DEPEND_GUESS is needed since each target gets its
own .depend.target.o file but also because it is spelled
.meta.target.o with WITH_META_MODE. The OBJS_DEPEND_GUESS
will apply the dependency if the required file is missing.
Also remove redundant .c files while here to avoid prolems with
targets using .ALLSRC and getting multiple source files.

DR #289[0] came down and gcc4.2.1 was on the wrong side of history.
Partially revert GCC r42574 (just remove the error) to rectify the parse
bug to match Clang and other compliant C99 compilers.
An example declaration gcc tripped on before this fix:
void foobar(int [static 1]);

Bump __FreeBSD_cc_version.

This reworks the handling of common headers to just include the needed
logic rather than invoke MAKE. This avoids the problem listed in r297842
and avoids other dependency tracking issues.

These are no longer needed after the recent 'beforebuild: depend' changes
and hooking DIRDEPS_BUILD into a subset of FAST_DEPEND which supports
skipping 'make depend'.

Tracking these leads to situations where meta mode will consider the
file to be out of date if /bin/sh or /bin/ln are newer than the source
file. There's no reason for meta mode to do this as make is already
handling the rebuild dependency fine.

Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.
Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN is now completely dead, except where it was
originally supposed to be used (internally in the toolchain building).
TARGET_ARCH has changed in three cases:
(1) Little endian mips has changed to mipsel.
(2) Big endian mips has changed to mipseb.
(3) Big endian arm has changed to armeb.
Some additional changes are needed to make 'make universe' work on arm
and mips after this change, so those are commented out for now.
UPDATING information will be forthcoming. Any remaining rough edges
will be hammered out in -current.
