Final patch here which just slightly changes how the boot code flags
are set (don't introduce unnecessary setting of elfv1 on 32-bit builds).
--

GCC can compile with either endian, but the ABI version always
defaults to the default endian. Alan Modra says:

  you need both -mbig and -mabi=elfv1 to make a powerpc64le gcc
  generate powerpc64 code

The opposite is true for powerpc64 when generating -mlittle it
requires -mabi=elfv2 to generate v2 ABI. This change adds ABI
annotations together with endianness. The kernel with ELFv2 ABI
also uses -mcall-aixdesc, but boot/ does not.
