[RFC PATCH 16/18] powerpc/boot: add support for 64bit big endian wrapper

Sat Feb 8 02:59:29 EST 2014


The boot wrapper is now compiled using -m64 for 64bit kernels.

The linker script is generated using the kernel preprocessor flags
to make use of the CONFIG_PPC64 definitions and the wrapper script is
modified to take into account the new elf64ppc format.

zImage is compiled as a position independent executable (-pie) which
makes it loadable at any address by the firmware. This is subject to
comment as I am not sure what are the requirement for the different
boot loaders.

There is probably a better way to compile in 64bit than what this 
patch is proposing. Suggestions ?
