In binutils-2.25, the _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ symbols defined by PROVIDE in u-boot.lds overrides the linker built-in symbols (https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commitdiff;h=b893...), so the linker is treating _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ as a definition into the .reloc section.
To align with the change of binutils-2.25, the _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ symbol should not be defined in sections, and the symbols in linker generated .got section should be used(https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2008-09/msg00122.html).
Fixed the following build errors with binutils-2.25: | powerpc-poky-linux-gnuspe-ld.bfd: _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ not defined in linker created .got
