[U-Boot] [PATCH] kbuild: fix SPL link bug when USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC is "yes"
Commit 6825a95 (kbuild: use Linux Kernel build scripts) changed the behavior of linkage when USE_PRIAVATE_LIBGCC is defined as "yes". (It dropped arch/arm/lib/eabi_compat.o from the target library.)
Affected boards are all Tegra boards.
This commit gets back the same behavior as before Kbuild series.

Hello Tom(Rini),
I made a serious mistake in the Kbuild series. (Commit 6825a95) Sorry.
This patch fixes the problem and gets back the originial link behavior.
Please pick this.

... although interestingly, at least with the Ubuntu 12.10 ARM cross-compiler, the resultant U-Boot works fine with or without this patch. I'd have expected it to fail without this patch since it sounds like USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC might not be honored correctly, but perhaps the linker cmdline order works out such that the custom libgcc happens to be picked up anyway, just not in the way intended.

Thanks for your test. It's good to know your boards are already working. (But I am not sure the build will pass with all sorts of cross tools.)
So it turned out it works with or without arch/arm/lib/eabi_compat.c.
I am not a compiler expert. Nor do I know what eabi_compat.o is needed for.
Anyway, just in case, we'd better to keep the same link behavior as before Kbuild.
Best Regards Masahiro Yamada

Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!
