[LinuxBIOS] Abuild test

[Li-Ta Lo]

Hi,

I tried to make as many boards to pass abuild test as possible. Now I 
have most of them working. The non working boards are in three 
categories:

1. Known to be broken:
    	technologic/ts5300, via/epia-m

2. Bug in ROMCC:
    	island/aruma, ROMCC complain about something in

coherent_ht.c:1543.39: coherent_ht.c:1805.27: auto.c:166.47:
0x88cd720 phi        Internal compiler error: Cannot find block
dominated by 0x83b8150

3. Bug in Abuild:
    	digitallogic/msm586seg, emulation/qemu-i386, 
    	Abuild generates incorrect value (0x-5000) for
    	PAYLOAD_SIZE in Makefile.setting. I can figure out
    	why it generate such a insane thing. 
    4. Bug in ldscript:
    	tyan/s2880, tyan/s4880, the default ROM_IMAGE_SIZE 	
    	generated by Abuild is wrong for these boards. The
    	value in target Config.lb is good.

5. CAR WIP:
    	tyan/s2735, YhLu, did you ever get CAR working on this
    	one?

make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/freebios2_test/util/abuild/linuxbios-
builds/tyan_s2735/normal'

`crt0.s'.  Stop.

I have epia-m compiling and running, but it's crashing apparently
randomly during the phase 1 setup (ie before it's copied into RAM).
Still trying to investigate this; the main obvious difference I can see
between v1 (which seems to work) and v2 is that v1 does a little bit of
setup and then a reset before doing the copy into ram stage. I can't see
that other boards in v1 do this.

There was talk of work happening on EPIA-M - is anyone else actually
doing this? I know about Adam Talbot and Anton Borisov, both of whom
I've been in contact with.

well, we have had to fight a few other linuxbios fires in the last 2 
weeks, and more are happening as I speak, so epia-m is in suspension here 
again ...

sorry

Ok try s2735 again.

No worries; I'm not expecting anyone else to make it work for me, just
don't want to end up duplicating effort or banging my head against a
wall when someone else has solved the problem.

(I've had a bunch of embarrassing self inflicted setbacks in terms of
being able to get my test rig sorted; Adam's done basically all the
testing work so far. However, all being well I'll be sorted by next
week and able to get more done.)
