The only likely 860T board to build with 2.2.5 is the FADS, and
I have not kept that up to date (which is why fec.c is out of date).

There is more that has to change if you are  not building for
a FADS board.  You have to assign the appropriate MII interrupts
and write the MMI command/status for the particular PHY you are
using.

The RPCg Classic and CLLF are both 860T boards.  I will update all
of the fec.c driver when I get a chance to port to those boards.

You shouldn't have to change it for anything.  If your linker
is working properly, it isn't going to include those objects and
there is no harm in building them.

Something is wrong with your tools or the configuration you have
selected.  None of these changes are necessary.
