66c8095956 Rename elf*-powerpc into elf*-powerpc-freebsd in binutils
The powerpc support was the only supported architecture not prepending the elf format name
with "-freebsd" in base this change makes it consistent with other architectures.
On newer version of binutils the powerpc format is also prepended with "-freebsd".

Also modify the kernel ldscripts in that regards.

As a result it is now possible cross build the kernel on powerpc using newer binutils

22236d5f21 Don't need __DYNAMIC here. it is commented out and a.out only -- these are all ELF. 2011-01-20 19:26:28 +00:00

67167531f0 Provide support in loader for booting 64-bit PowerPC kernels. Like amd64,
64-bit PowerPC kernels are loaded by a 32-bit loader, since nearly all
powerpc64 firmwares execute in 32-bit mode.

744b9a014d Use a linker script for the loader. This avoids issues with
command-line options, such as misaligning the data segment.
Exposed by the limited PearPC OFW ELF loader, but a good thing in
general.
